We need basic access to an Oracle database via Perl DBI on FreeBSD 
7-stable.  Does linux_dist-gentoo-stage3 facilitate compiling/installing a 
linux perl better than doing so using the fc4 linux_base?

It seems like I will need some combination of the linux-instantclient and 
Oracle-8 client ports installed, then a linux perl to interface with 
them(?)

The proxy is in interesting idea which I will look into.
