Perl, DBD::Oracle

James R. Allen II — Wed, 31 Jul 2002 16:25:50 GMT

Is it possible to use the Activestate Perl (hp_11.00.depot) binary with DBI and DBD::Oracle? I'm using Oracle 8.1.6. I've seen a lot of posts and some say it will not work and some say it will.

ActiveState usually builds threaded perls, which is calling for trouble on hpux/Oracle

Will my 5.8.0 port help you out?

Basic questions: 8.1.6/64 or 8.1.6/32?
Why can't you access my ITRC web page?
What C compiler, what version?

I don't know what version 32/64 of Oracle client and I installed it! Is there a command line way of telling? I was not seeing http(s) sorry, I see your page now. The C compiler I used was gcc 3.0.2. I got the gcc from the HP site.

oops!...the gcc I used is the 32 bit version, built from source.

Ah, at least that gcc version works. Not perfect, but still very good and rather stable. Remember to install 3.2 when available, as of 3.0.4, the GNU team has done a lot to improve gcc for pa-risc.

Oracle 32/64 can be checked with the 'file' command. See http://forums.itrc.hp.com/cm/QuestionAnswer/1,,0x8cbb3a7b3682d611abdb0090277a778c,00.html

if it shows ELF64, you have the 64bit port installed
