Hello Monks,

On this one, I've searched CPAN for the DBI mod text, google, and here and I am really stuck in the weeds.

I just want to be able to validate using the Perl DBI mod in one of my work environments. As to experience, I have used it for basic things on my linux box with a mysql database - that's it.

Anyway, here's the code and then the error and I just don't know how to investigate this. I changed some values that are work-related like the database name or the actual table name in the query statement.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use DBI;
use strict;

my ( $drh, $dbh, $sth );

$drh = DBI->install_driver( 'oracle' );
$dbh = DBI->connect('DBI:oracle:DBNAME', 'userName', 'userPswd');
die "Cannot connect: $D: $DBI::errstr\n" unless $dbh;

$sth = $dbh->prepare("describe table_name;");
$sth->execute;

$dbh->disconnect;

exit;

And here is the error:

ld.so.1: perl: fatal: relocation error: file /blah/blah/blah/lib/auto/
+DBI/DBI.so: symbol Perl_get_sv: referenced symbol not found
Killed

Sure would appreciate some help, even if just some pointers on HOW to troubleshoot this.

Thanks in advance,

Tony
