I probably mentioned this the last time I installed DBD:Oracle but I couldn't find it...

Oracle’s latest instant client for 64-bit linux puts the demo.mk file in /usr/share/oracle/12.2/client64/demo 

The DBD::Oracle installer only looks in /usr/share/oracle/12.2/client64/ to find it and thus installing from cpan fails. 

Dunno if this is really a reportable bug or not.  I just put a symlink to it in the expected directory and everything worked just fine.
