Did you try google?

The first hit on DBI HP Perl 5.8.2 seemed useful.

Essentially, the solution was to get a real compiler.

You will likely need to start from scratch.

Get gcc for HP

Compile Perl and locate it in a private directory.

I use /home/oracle, with oracle as the owner.

Then compile DBI, DBD::Oracle, etc.

This is a good idea for several reasons.

Don't mess with the stock perl, unless it is on a test machine, and/or you really know what you are doing.

You can muck around with a private version without incurring the wrath of your SA.
