We are on Solaris 10 (Opteron 64 servers) using 10g (10.2.0.3). Here are some guidelines you many find useful. * Perl for Solaris is shipped as a 32bit version which is fine for most Perl apps. Leave the default install alone (/usr/perl5) as this is used by the operating system and could make your OS become unusable if tampered with. Instead, you will need to compile another 64 bit version of perl. I first did this in my home directory and later installed it for production use in /opt/perl5 (/usr/local/bin/perl5 is another alternate you can use). * After building and installing the local version of Perl, create an environment file that points to that version. That means, /usr/bin should come last in your PATH. Also, be sure to unset/reset any perl library and LD_LIBRARY_PATHs to point to the newly installed version ahead of the system installed one. * Begin installing the DBI/DBD modules. DBI is rather straight forward but the DBD test is where I had the issue. This was resolved once I recompiled a 64 bit version of Perl and made sure it was placed ahead of the installed version. Recent your PERL5LIB to point to your 64 bit version. I think I still have instructions so email me off-line and I can send them to you.

This tells it where to look for the perl modules (*.pm) files, and other things. It is set when perl is installed on a computer. You can add include libraries to perl with the "-I" parameter, and can have as many of them as you want (look at the command perl -I $ORACLE_HOME/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.3/sun4-solaris-thread-multi -I $ORACLE_HOME/perl/lib/5.8.3 create_ddl.pl, there are 2 -I parameters).
