FYI
I just found out why DBD::Oracle will not work out of the box or on a 
compile on a Solaris 64bit computers form HP.

Seems there is a bug in Oracle (What??? never happens?? yeah right!) the bug 
number is 5389730. Seem that our friends
at Oracle forgot to add a flie to a makefile into the 10.2.0.2 Solaris x86 
patchset :-). so parts are missing when you try to connect with 32bit perl.

With DBD::Oracle out of the box you will get a error like this when you try 
to connect

DBI connect('','[EMAIL PROTECTED]',...) failed: ORA-12154: 
TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified (DBD ERROR: 
OCIServerAttach) at test.pl line 31

If you try to compile DBD::Oracle you may see this error

*** Error code 139
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `lib/Config.pod'

Hope this helps someone out-there

Cheers
