access with perl to remote oracle server without local installation of oracle client

wucisMar 14 2017 — edited Mar 15 2017

Hello,

I know, my questions does not fit exactly in this subspace, but perl and python are somehow similar.

I like to connect with perl (from a win7 machine) to a remote oracle server. This should happen without installing the oracle client on the local machine, where the perl script will be running. I use the dbi module which is calling the respective dbd::oracle module. The error I get, complaines about some environment variables. But I cant define a ORACLE_HOME cause there is (should) no oracle software installed (client).

So the question is: Is it possible to access a remote oracle server without installing the client software ?
