Building DBD::Oracle with one version but deploying with another

Hi, I'd like to find out how to build/install DBD::Oracle with one version of Oracle client but then deploy it with a potentially different client version, say on a server without the original client version (or with it installed in a different location).  It seems like the Oracle client libraries can be loaded dynamically at runtime, based on ORACLE_HOME, so there doesn't need to be a dependency on those exact client libraries that were used at build/install time.  

Another way of asking:  How does ActiveState deploy DBD::Oracle without needing to build it (maybe no C compiler is available), on servers with different versions of the Oracle client libraries installed?


Thanks!
