that is ok. Some clients only work with some servers.

You didn't mention the platform. On Linux set LD_LIBRARY_PATH NOT
ORACLE_HOME and rerun perl Makefile.PL.

I'd recommend the 11gR2 (current) client. I believe it is backwards
compatible with the 9.2 database. If you have problems installing the client
or at runtime, it will be easier to get help with the newer client.
And BTW, the readme in the exploded distribution has what you need to set so
that the client installs properly. I've been down that road.
Hope it helps..
