Hi I have already the file, README.hpux, and it does not appear address this problem. I have come to realise that the supplied Perl doesn't support threads and, as you have suggested, needs rebuilding. The annoying aspect this I have two servers running Oracle 9.2.0.5, running latest versions

Hi I am pulling my hair out with a simple install. I have two HP-UX servers, one Itanium and the other PA-RISC, both running Oracle 9i, HP-UX 11.11, Perl 5.8 and with gcc 3.4.2. Installation and use of DBI/DBD-Oracle on the Itanium server was easy, with NO problems. The installation on the PA-RIS

Sure. 1. Download perl from http://www.perl.com 2. Unpack (tar xvzf stable.tar.gz) 3. Read the README file After you have built and installed Perl, google "install perl modules using cpan" Remeber, **ALWAYS** read the README* files for all modules before you install them or if you have pr
