DBD::Oracle 1.26 does not install with CentOS/RHEL 5.5 and OIC 11.2

Hello,

I have installed the following packages:

  oracle-instantclient11.2-basic-11.2.0.2.0.x86_64.rpm
  oracle-instantclient11.2-devel-11.2.0.2.0.x86_64.rpm
  oracle-instantclient11.2-sqlplus-11.2.0.2.0.x86_64.rpm

on my CentOS 5.5 Linux / 64 bit with perl 5.8.8
and have set the following env. variables:

  export TNS_ADMIN=/etc
  export ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/11.2
  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/client64/lib
  PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/sbin:$ORACLE_HOME/client64/bin

After that I'm able to access the remote Oracle database
through sqlplus shell and PHP (with: extension=oci8.so)

Installing DBD::Oracle through CPAN shell fails however
(installing other Perl modules previously has worked well):

#  sudo -E perl -MCPAN -e shell

cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.9402)
Enter 'h' for help.

  CPAN.pm: Going to build T/TI/TIMB/DBD-Oracle-1.26.tar.gz

Using DBI 1.52 (for perl 5.008008 on x86_64-linux-thread-multi)
installed in /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/DBI/

Configuring DBD::Oracle for perl 5.008008 on linux (x86_64-linux-thread-multi)

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

  The ORACLE_HOME environment variable value (/usr/lib/oracle/11.2) is
not valid.
  It must be set to hold the path to an Oracle installation directory
  on this machine (or a machine with a compatible architecture).
  For an Instant Client install, the directory should include an sdk
subdirectory.
  See the appropriate README file for your OS for more information.
  ABORTED!

The "sdk" subdir mentioned above doesn't really exist in the rpm:

  # rpm -ql oracle-instantclient11.2-devel | grep -i sdk
