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.
