I am a newbie at trying to use Perl. I wanted to get the DBI/DBD modules installed on a HP-UX 11i machine, but...well... I'm getting compile errors from the 'make' step, and I'm not a 'c' programmer, and I have no idea what's wrong. Does anybody have either a cookbook on how to install Perl DBI on HP-UX, or an already-compiled distro of same? I'm using (ok...pretending to use) Perl v5.8.2 (from HP) on HP-UX 11i. Thanks, Mike P.S. This is the last error I got: [mike@gvdb90 DBI-1.43]# make cc -c -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=3D199506L -D_REENTRANT -Ae = -D_HPUX_SOURCE -Wl,+vnocompatwarnings -DNO_HASH_SEED -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE = -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=3D64 -fast +Onolimit +Opromote_indirect_calls = +DAportable +DS2.0 -DVERSION=3D\"1.43\" -DXS_VERSION=3D\"1.43\" +Z = "-I/opt/perl/lib/5.8.2/PA-RISC1.1-thread-multi/CORE" Perl.c (Bundled) cc: warning 480: The -A option is available only with the = C/ANSI C product; ignored.
