Re^2: Core dump

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

Probably because this crap is a Perl app. Once upon a time I opened a ticket at Oracle Support because this beast forked itself to death and killed the machine where it was running. After 1/2 year or so I gave it up because they couldn’t solve the issue and turned EM off for ever. The other ugly details/reasons I suppressed.

But is there any reason for a DBA to use the bundled Perl directly? The longer I think about the OPs question, the more bizarre it becomes... Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply]

«…any reason…» No. But as always it’s more difficult. Oracle comes with it’s own environment. Everything runs under the UID `oracle` E.g. if you install DBI it only works if you do it as user `oracle`. If you are lucky. It might be interesting to see what `which perl` would tell if called as user `oracle`. «The Crux of the Biscuit is the Apostrophe»	[reply] [d/l] [select]
