I have got back to the task. I have installed an openSUSE virtual

function by installing the Teradata navigator and successfully getting
data over ODBC.
This time, when I run cpan test DBD::ODBC, I get an undefined symbol
error (SQLFetch) from dynaloader trying to load ODBC.so. I have
attached the full build and test trace from the cpan session.
Thanx for any help.

That suggests you are NOT using unixODBC as the ODBC driver manager.
Therefore this increases the places where the problem may be as I've
not tried whatever driver manager comes with teradata.

The make did not find unixODBC or iodbc via odbc_config or iodbc_config.
It then looked in standard places for it and finally in your "ODBCHOME
/opt/teradata/client/ODBC_64". It seemed to find iODBC libraries and
headers in ODBCHOME and built against it but there was no SQLFetch symbol.
As I said before, I've not tried DBD::ODBC against an iODBC that comes
with Teradata. However, I have had problems with missing symbols in
iODBC before. I'd install the unixODBC dev and bin packages, unset
ODBCHOME and run perl Makefile.PL -x. That should build fine then you
need to add your driver to the /etc/odbcinst.ini and put a DSN in the
/etc/odbc.ini.
Unfortunately I cannot be of much help as to what settings teradata
needs in the DSN. Basically, you need to find your teradata ODBC driver
shared object and add to your odbcinst.ini file something like:
[ODBC]
Trace=yes
TraceFile=/tmp/unixodbc.log
[teradata]
Description = Teradata ODBC driver
Driver = /path/to/teradata/odbc/driver/shared_object.so
Your /etc/odbc.ini should look something like:
[my_teradata_dsn]
Driver = teradata
some_attribute = some_value
another_attribute = another_value
Then you should use
isql -v my_teradata_dsn username password
Once that works build DBD::ODBC setting DBI_DSN=dbi:ODBC:my_terdata_dsn,
DBI_USER=username, DBI_PASS=password and run a make test.
