Monks, has anyone successfully built 64bit perl with Oracle dbd on AIX? We are running into an issue where perl hits a memory limit and crashes when hashing large files. Ran into the same issue on HP and going to 64bit perl fixed this. We are moving to an ibm p650 and hit the same problem with 32bit perl. Problem is i cannot get the dbd to pass any make tests with 64bit perl on AIX. Any ideas out there? Thanks!!
My setup is this:
AIX 5.1
Oracle 9.2.0.4
Perl 5.8.4
DBI 1.42
DBD Oracle 1.15
Ulimit -a
time(seconds) unlimited
file(blocks) unlimited
data(kbytes) unlimited
stack(kbytes) 32768
memory(kbytes) unlimited
coredump(blocks) 2097151
nofiles(descriptors) 2000
