DBD-Oracle - obtaining OCI handles from $dbh

I have created some Perl bindings for some existing custom C++ 
libraries.

One of these C++ libraries implements a class that uses Oracle
OCI calls.

I would like to create a connection to the Oracle database 
using Perl's DBI (DBD::Oracle) module, and then ideally share
that connection with the C++ libraries.

This would require me to extract the Oracle OCI handles from
the $dbh object...and then pass them to the C++ libraries.

What would be the best way to get access to the underlying
Oracle OCI handles from a $dbh object?
