What does perl -v show?

    First, thanks for your interest!

    On two different platforms:

    • some Pentium-4:   This is perl 5, version 22, subversion 2 (v5.22.2) built for i386-freebsd-thread-multi-64int
    • Dell 2950:   This is perl 5, version 22, subversion 2 (v5.22.2) built for amd64-freebsd-thread-multi

    . . .from the make install process:
    ===> p5-DBI-1.636 depends on package: perl5>=5.22<5.23 - found

    Can this be some sort of compiler version issue?

      Maybe. Perl and XS modules should be compiled with the same compiler.

      But it also may be just a library search path issue. Perhaps you mixed two perl versions that share at least some directories.

        Yes, I have read the The Wikipedia article, Perl XS, that states:

        XS is an interface through which a program written in the Perl programming language can call a C or C++ language subroutine. The letters stand for eXternal Subroutine, or xsub, where external means external to Perl, i.e. written in some other language.

        . . .XS modules are not without drawbacks. They are difficult to write and maintain, and they may only be installed if a C compiler and the header files that the Perl interpreter was compiled against are available. Also, new versions of Perl may break binary compatibility; if this happens, all XS modules must be recompiled.

        I did deinstall before reinstalling the FreeBSD "Ports". I expected the same compiler, clang?, to compile and assemble both??? . . .of course, I did not write the makefile.
