Just to tell another success story: We have been using DBI and
DBD::Oracle on both Solaris Sparc and RedHat Linux x86 with absolutely
no problems.

We keep a local copy of Perl and DBI/DBD::Oracle source (as well as a
ton of other stuff) in or CVS tree, and our build system builds our own
version of Perl/DBI/DBD::Oracle/... in every full build. When we
upgraded from Oracle 8.1.7 to 9.2 we just ran 'make' again, and
DBI/DBD::Oracle was up and running again, on both Solaris and Linux.

Not sure why other people have more trouble than that, but I must say I
do not know if our Solaris version is 32 or 64 bits, or indeed anything
about the 32/64 bit issue in our application. I can check if someone
asks me with directions about what to look for.

 - Kristian.
