Hi, I have a suggestion to add to your README the next time
DBD-Oracle is released. I have installed DBI and DBD-Oracle on a
Solaris 9 machine with no problems. When I tried installing
DBD-Oracle on Solaris 10, most of the make tests would fail with an
out of memory error. A small test script of mine would fail
also. Actually the test would run, but it would still generate the
error. I found this page after some Google searching:
http://markmail.org/message/pstd2qdm7tfko6dc?q=out+of+memory+list:org%2Eperl%2Edbi-users#query:out%20of%20memory%20list%3Aorg.perl.dbi-users+page:1+mid:alx2mweo2wqspeqp+state:results
and the suggested workaround fixed my problem. I don't know if this
warrants a separate README.solaris.txt or if it would just go into
README.help.txt, but if you could put in a blurb that setting
ORACLE_HOME may alleviate "out of memory" errors under Solaris 10 it
might help someone else.
Thanks for your time.
