I didn’f find a dockerfile for oracle and perl. So I did one by myself.

Quick Instructions: Create dir; Create Dockerfile (above); create oracle_test.pl (above), download the oracle files.

Build it:

docker build -t perl-oracle .

Run it:

docker run -it --rm perl-oracle

I took http://www.ecliptik.com/Containerizing-a-Perl-Script/ as the base and added the information from here: http://www.aboutmonitoring.com/install-dbd-oracle-perl-modules-in-linux/ . To get the 3 Oracle files, you need an Oracle Account and download manualy and put it in your directory.

Your directory should look like this is:

$ ls
Dockerfile
oracle-instantclient12.2-basic-12.2.0.1.0-1.x86_64.rpm
oracle-instantclient12.2-devel-12.2.0.1.0-1.x86_64.rpm
oracle-instantclient12.2-sqlplus-12.2.0.1.0-1.x86_64.rpm
oracle_test.pl*

with the Dockerfile:
