At this point, it would not be prudent to overlay [or add to] the base build on my machine, supplied by the vendor, as other areas in my company are using that basic Perl. I guess an additional installation of the stable 5.8.0 release to an alternate $prefix/path might supply a Perl build robust enough to contain this "libperl.a" file? I don't have root authority, so I would build to somewhere in my own directory area. If that is successful, then I can install DBD::Oracle [using the new 5.8.0 release] and then build a binary for my area's use. Comments?

For DBD::Oracle I did a static & dynamic build and they both failed at "make -f Makefile.aperl perl". Failed to find "/usr/lib/perl-5.6.0/lib/5.6.0/alpha-dec_osf/CORE/libperl.a". How would my Systems Admin install PERL [or add to it] so that the "libperl.a" shows up in the proper dir? Thanks. Bill
