Mark, The solution you suggested worked fine for my install of DBI, however I then encountered the same error when building the DBD::DB2 module. Unfotunately, the DBAs are not happy about putting the DB2 Application Development Client (a pre-req to the install) on the box I used last time to generate an uncorrupted version of the DBI.so file. I tried the install on a separate 'standard build' box that they suggested, but this also failed with the same DynaLoader error. So I am now stuck having to attempt to get to the bottom of this problem as to why the DBI.so file gets corrupted, yet I've really not got a lot of time to devote to this at the moment.
Just wondering if anyone else can help or if you have any more details that may help point me in the right direction.
