When I build against Oracle Instant Client I download the instant client 
from Oracle, unzip it in /home/martin. Then I set 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/martin/instantclient_11_2 and do

perl Makefile.PL
make

Do you really want to use instant client or build directly against your 
oracle install - you seem, to me, to be mixing the two. There are issues 
building against a full Oracle install right now as I believe they 
(Oracle) have put the files required in different packages but I've 
never had any issues with InstantClient.
