I'm looking through the DBD::Oracle installation notes for HP-UX and I have run across the following lines to modify in my Config.pm:

    ccdlflags=''
    cccdlflags='+z'
    ldflags=' -L/usr/local/lib'
Which has confused me (hence why I am asking). I found the corresponding lines in my own Config.pm and they are quite quite different.

My question is: should I remove anything that is in conflict, or merely append the suggestions to my Config.pm?

My current lines look like this:

cccdlflags='-fPIC'
ccdlflags='-Wl,-E -Wl,-B,deferred '
ldflags=' -Wl,+vnocompatwarnings -L/usr/local/lib'

Additionally, when I rebuild perl (5.8.0) should I build a shared libperl.sl or any other funky options that I am not aware of? I am currently building with the following flags:

sh ./Configure \
-Dcc=/home/cpacnm/Qwest/bin/gcc \
-Dprefix=/home/cpacnm/Qwest \
-Uinstallusrbinperl \
-Ubincompat5005

Thanks

If you make something idiot-proof, eventually someone will make a better idiot.
I am that better idiot.
