When trying to add package DBD-oracle-1.15 to Perl version 5.6.1 (with update ) and 
DBI-1.43 i get this 

$ perl makefile.pl
*** Warning: Path separator characters (`|') in the current directory path 
(PERL_ROOT:[LIB.DBD-ORACLE-1_15]) may cause problems

Unable to locate Driver.xst in perl_root:[lib.VMS_AXP.5_6_1]/auto/DBI

Perl was installed from HP PCSI packages as published on their webpages.

To install the DBI package, I had to change DESCRIP.MMS:

$ diff descrip.mms
************
File PERL_ROOT:[LIB.DBI-1_43]DESCRIP.MMS;2
  275   DBI_INSTARCH_DIR=perl_root:[lib.site_perl.vms_axp.auto.dbi]
  276   DBI_DRIVER_XST=$(DBI_INSTARCH_DIR)Driver.xst
******
File PERL_ROOT:[LIB.DBI-1_43]DESCRIP.MMS;1
  275   DBI_INSTARCH_DIR=.
  276   DBI_DRIVER_XST=$(DBI_INSTARCH_DIR)Driver.xst
************

$                                                        

as mms otherwise perstently complained of a syntax error. 
This fix was found on the web, with Mr. Dan Sugalski as originator (thanks Dan), as 
having been needed in 1998 for
building a much earlier version of the package...

But a fix for the above mentioned problem has eluded me...
