oraperl

I am not using DBD::Oracle, since it is still in beta. I am trying compile oraperl with Oracle 7.3.2, on Solaris 2.5 x86. The oraperl Makefile requires the files "libocic.a", and "libora.a", which are nowhere to be found in the Oracle directories. My Oracle/Solaris Sys-Admin person cannot find or create these files for me.
I went from Perl 5 back to Perl 4, to make a better marry with oraperl. I have been trying to figure out a way to substitute other files, with no luck so far.
I would really appreciate any suggestions/solutions, as I am relatively new to Perl and Oracle.
