I am trying to install DBD::Oracle 1.06 on HP-UX 11.0 using Perl version
5.6.0 for Oracle 7.3.4.
I was able to successfully install the DBI 1.14 interface, but when I try
and install the DBD package, it fails. The perl Makefile.PL command seems
to work without any errors - just a warning that I might need to use static
linking. Then when I use the make command, it aborts because it doesn't
like the -Wl argument for the ld (link editor) command in the Makefile
script. I tried using static linking, and it gets through the "perl
Makefile" and "make" commands, but when I "make perl" or "make test", it
aborts and does a core dump. I don't think that static linking is the
solution to my problem. I have tested my ld, and it doesn't recognize -Wl.
When I edit the Makefile script and take out the -Wl argument, it runs fine,
but then when I do a "make test" command it fails (probably because it
needed that option to be properly configured). Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Here are the warning lines from perl Makefile.PL:
Found header files in rdbms/demo.
Warning: You may need to build using static linking. See the README file.
Warning: By default new modules are installed into your 'site_lib'
directories. Since site_lib directories come after the normal library
directories you must delete any old DBD::Oracle files and directories from
your 'privlib' and 'archlib' directories and their auto subdirectories.
Here is some of the output from the "make" command (I edited it for length):
