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.
