in reply to Core dump

> We're migrating our servers from RHEL6(Oracle 12.2.0.1) and using the Perl that comes with Oracle (/12.2.0.1/perl/bin/perl) to RHEL7(Oracle 19.3.0.0 with Oracle Client 19.8.0.0.0) and using Perl 5.32

I didn't know that Oracle comes with a bundled Perl and I'm not sure why...

But if you are migrating to another version you should keep using° that bundled Perl.

My guess is that Oracle requires included XS modules, they are compiled for a particular version and might break otherwise.

There must be a reason why it's bundled.

°) What kind of "using"? What for?

update

I was assuming you are using the bundled Perl for some kind of maintenance of the DB. Anything else would be unfortunate at least.
