Re^2: "Total Environment allocation failure" after DBI and DBD::DB2 upgrade

Thanks tachyon-II. I think I already got those covered:

$ tail -5 ~/.bashrc
if [ -f /home/db2inst3/sqllib/db2profile ]; then
    . /home/db2inst3/sqllib/db2profile
fi
$ ls -l /home/db2inst3/sqllib/db2profile
-rwxr-xr-x  1 db2inst3 db2iadm1 6625 Apr 24 12:26 /home/db2inst3/sqlli
+b/db2profile
$ /home/db2inst3/sqllib/db2profile
$ perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use DBI;
use DBD::DB2;
DBI->connect('DBI:DB2:viper', 'db2inst3', '');
__END__
DBI connect('viper','db2inst3',...) failed: Total Environment allocati

Could the explanation lay elsewhere?

The line in your .bashrc and what you type at the command line are not equivalent. There is a subtle and very important difference, particularly when it comes to setting the environment. `$ /home/db2inst3/sqllib/db2profile` [download] Will fork a subshell, set the environment (for that subshell), and exit. The environment in your current shell remains unchanged. Although your .bashrc should be handling it there would seem to be no harm in trying either of these which will run db2profile in your current shell. `$ . /home/db2inst3/sqllib/db2profile $ source /home/db2inst3/sqllib/db2profile` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
