Running perl5.8.3 compiled 32 bit with the Perl libraries, DBD 1.15, DBI 1.41 distributed with Oracle 10.2, I find that, having connected to Oracle within a perl script any subsequent system() calls return a -1 error status, even simple commands like true. (First tried building and using DBD-Oracle-1.19, DBI-1.40 with the same results).
I think it likely that this is something to do with Oracle's handling of SIGCHLD. I have a hunch that this might only happen if the connection is not via Oracle*Net. Is you database local? Are you connecting using the bequeather? -- Charles Jardine - Computing Service, University of Cambridge [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: +44 1223 334506, Fax: +44 1223 334679
