Thanks, we can try 64 bit.

Interesting that Oracle are still distributing 32 bit with Oracle 10.2,
though, if there is not a 32 bit solution to this problem?

Have you tried to use Perl 64 bit build? I've had similar problem before and
solved it by installing the newest Perl 64 bit version. I believe your Perl
has to be compatible to your system and Oracle.

Good luck.

Running perl5.8.3 compiled 32 bit with the Perl libraries, DBD 1.15, DBI
1.41 distributed with Oracle 10.2, I find that, having connected to Oracle
within a perl script any subsequent system() calls return a -1 error status,
even simple commands like true. (First tried building and using
DBD-Oracle-1.19, DBI-1.40 with the same results).


>cat dbtest.pl
use strict;
use Getopt::Std;
use DBI;

# Connect to database
my $db = DBI -> connect("DBI:Oracle:","","",
{AutoCommit => 0,PrintError => 0,RaiseError => 1})
or die "Failed to connect: $DBI::errstr\n"; $db
-> disconnect();

system(true);

print "$?\n";


>/opt/app/oracle/product/10.2/perl/bin/perl5.8.3 dbtest.pl
-1

>/opt/app/oracle/product/10.2/perl/bin/perl5.8.3 -v
