our server group had recently upgraded the OS from AIX 5.2.9 to AIX 5.3 version. as far as i know the perl compilers was also upgraded from 5.8.0 to 5.8.2 version as it comes with the OS. when we run the our perl programs it appears that all of them is not working anymore. we are getting this error code: 
    Bareword "DBI::SQL_DATE" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at
+ /usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.8.2/aix-thread-multi/Time/Format.pm line 265.
    Bareword "DBI::SQL_INTEGER" not allowed while "strict subs" in use
