While it might not help with DBI::Ingres specifically, perl does provide a
way to have the dynaloader subsystem dump all sorts of trace and diagnostic
messages. Just set the environment variable PERL_DL_DEBUG to some
integer--the larger it is the more data you get dumped out. (And this does
work everywhere, though how to set up the environment differs from place to
place...)
Try setting it to 2 with the busted DBI::Ingres and see what you get.
