If you try to make with the 64bit perl libs you get this (something in the header files??):
ld: 0711-738 ERROR: Input file Oracle.o:
XCOFF32 object files are not allowed in 64-bit mode.
I have played around with the Makefile, but still get the same XCOFF error.

So, if you follow the readme.aix and make with the Oracle lib32, you get this:

Test returned status -1 (wstat 132, 0x84) test program seems to have generated a core t/general....
It just hangs here.
Any ideas?
