We are migrating to AIX 3.5 and our perl libraries require the Oracle 8.1.7 client and won't work with the newer clients.
Is 8.1.7 for AIX available for download anywhere?

Sorry, I have dislexia this morning!
I meant AIX 5.3, not AIX 3.5.
That said, if no download available, where is the last resort way that we can get the Oracle 8.1.7 client software for AIX 5.3?

Actually I only have a leg to stand on if AIX 5.3 is too old and close to being desupported. Boss wants me to get the perl libraries working under AIX 5.3 using the 10g Oracle client, but I have been unable to, because the perl interface is very old and we have only had luck with the 8.1.7 oracle client.

Actually, the PERL DBI/DBD interface should work with all Oracle client versions.
You just have to compile/install it with the client version you want installed beforehand. You can't take the DBI/DBD versions that were installed/compiled with the 8.1.7 client set to ORACLE_HOME and use them with another client.
But when you still have and use the perl modules that were compiled with the 8.1.7 client, then there should still be a 8.1.7 client install on that box which you could copy over to the new box.
