The real problem here is we don't have root on this machine. That said, I am trying to install DBI and DBD::Oracle in my home directory. Unfortunately, there is a dysfunctional, older version of DBI already installed in the more usual places fouling things up. When I execute: #!/usr/bin/perl use lib '/opt/customer/home/GLNadmin/perllibs'; # DBI here use DBI; I get: DBI object version 1.13 does not match $DBI::VERSION 1.18 at /opt/perl/lib/5.00503/sun4-solaris/DynaLoader.pm line 188. I know this is because DynaLoader is finding the older DBI.so rather than my new one which I want it to find. How do I specify an unorthodox place such as ~/perllibs to search for .so's before the usual locations? 'use lib' and $LD_LIBRARY_PATH do not appear to make a difference. Any help much appreciated. -Andrew Hawkes
