Error using DBD::Oracle with instantclient 11.2 - oracle

Question

I Want to use perl module DBD::Oracle on Mac OS X 10.8.
I installed DBI through CPAN.
Downloaded the Oracle instant client 11.2 (basic, sqlplus and jdk).
Extracted it to /usr/local/oracle.
$ ls /usr/local/oracle/instantclient_11_2/
BASIC_README libnnz11.dylib ojdbc6.jar
SQLPLUS_README libocci.dylib.11.1 sdk
adrci libociei.dylib sqlplus
genezi libocijdbc11.dylib uidrvci
glogin.sql libsqlplus.dylib xstreams.jar
libclntsh.dylib libsqlplusic.dylib
libclntsh.dylib.11.1 ojdbc5.jar
Then installed DBD::Oracle.
Now when I want to use DBD::Oracle it gives an error.
install_driver(Oracle) failed: Can't load '/Library/Perl/5.12/darwin-thread-multi-
2level/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.bundle' for module DBD::Oracle:
dlopen(/Library/Perl/5.12/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.bundle, 1):
Library not loaded: /ade/b/2649109290/oracle/rdbms/lib/libclntsh.dylib.11.1
Referenced from: /Library/Perl/5.12/darwin-thread-multi-
2level/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.bundle
Reason: image not found at /System/Library/Perl/5.12/darwin-thread-multi-
2level/DynaLoader.pm line 204.
I have DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/oracle/instaclient_11_2
I have not a clue what I am doing wrong.
SOLVED:
I got the same error when trying to run sqlplus. I added my oracle client directory to my global PATH variable and it is working now.
Saw they did the same in this tutorial: http://www.janhellevik.no/?p=521

Check this one out: perl DBD::Oracle Module installtion
Above information is about Linux Environment. But you might get some clues on how to go about configuring DBD::Oracle on MAC OSX.
On linux, you need "Basic, SQLPLUS and Devel" binaries of the oracle instant client. Here is the directory listing on my Linux box:
# pwd
/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64/lib
# ls -l
total 185232
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 368 Sep 17 2011 glogin.sql
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Jul 9 2012 libclntsh.so -> libclntsh.so.11.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 52761218 Sep 17 2011 libclntsh.so.11.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7955322 Sep 17 2011 libnnz11.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Jul 9 2012 libocci.so -> libocci.so.11.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1971762 Sep 17 2011 libocci.so.11.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 118408281 Sep 17 2011 libociei.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 164836 Sep 17 2011 libocijdbc11.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1503303 Sep 17 2011 libsqlplusic.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1477446 Sep 17 2011 libsqlplus.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2095661 Sep 17 2011 ojdbc5.jar
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2714016 Sep 17 2011 ojdbc6.jar
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 300666 Sep 17 2011 ottclasses.zip
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 66779 Sep 17 2011 xstreams.jar
and here is the list of oracle instant client RPMs that I installed:
# rpm -qa | grep -i oracle
oracle-instantclient11.2-basic-11.2.0.3.0-1
oracle-instantclient11.2-devel-11.2.0.3.0-1
oracle-instantclient11.2-sqlplus-11.2.0.3.0-1
Hope this helps.
