Remember to actually *READ* the README file! Especially if you have any problems.

Can't find sqlplus. Pity, it would have helped.
I'm having trouble finding your Oracle version number... trying harder

WARNING: I could not determine Oracle client version so I'll just
default to version 8.0.0.0. Some features of DBD::Oracle may not work.
Oracle version based logic in Makefile.PL may produce erroneous results.
You can use "perl Makefile.PL -V X.Y.Z" to specify a your client version.

Oracle version 8.0.0.0 (8.0)
DBD::Oracle no longer supports Oracle client versions before 9.2
Try a version before 1.25 for 9 and 1.18 for 8! at Makefile.PL line 271.
$ sudo make
make: There must be an existing description file or specify a target.
$ sudo make install
make: Cannot find a rule to create target install from dependencies.
Stop.

Please help me to fix this issue.
