Or possible---no Oracle client for Linux. Yet.

Well, someone said they were going to work on doing libdbd-pg-perl, at which
time I scrapped my 15-minute hack version.
It hasn't appeared yet.
But the libdbi stuff works fine, though it's in contrib which I've never
understood. And we have libdbd-my?sql-perl packages as well I believe, and
I've used the libdbd-mysql-perl package for more than a year with no
problems.
