Re^2: Is my perl install 32-bit or 64-bit?

Thanks, so using this default version, it appears I'll need to build against the 32-bit Oracle client. I wonder if I'll have any problems with building against the 32-bit client while the 64-bit client is still installed...

That I can't answer since i have not had to work seriously with Solaris in this millennium. But I suspect that they have compatibility figured out and it will work.	[reply]

I just wanted to follow up in case anyone else encounters a similar environment. We installed the 64-bit Oracle 11g client and it came with the 32-bit libraries in the "lib32" directory. Following instructions in the DBD:Oracle readme, we added the Oracle Client's "lib32" directory to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH. We were then able to make and install the DBD:Oracle module. The "make test" process failed miserably due to some sort of Testing module issue, but a test connection worked. If I encounter more issues, I'll follow up, otherwise it worked fine.	[reply]
