DBD::Oracle with perl

[Kim_18]

I have read several of the posts out there on the DBD::Oracle issues a lot of you have had, so I went to Merihn's site and downloaded a binary copy of perl already built for hpux.
I downloaded perl5.8.6 since it was under the heading 11.11/64 bit which was what I was looking for. I installed it on /opt/perl64 - I then tried for the DBD::Oracle piece - it makes fine, but the make test fails
t/32xmltype.............ok 3/4Unsupported named object type for bind parameter at t/32xmltype.t line 71.

5 tests and 124 subtests skipped.

*** Error exit code 2

Is there anyone out there that can give me some advise or instructions on getting this installed.

Thanks
Kim

In my latest attempt I just used cpan using "force install DBD::Oracle".
