(This is probably more Perl related, and I've posted the same message in the Perl forum, but in case anyone here uses the tool and has come across this before - or a similar problem)
I use a tool called OracleTool ( to help with certain DBA functions on my Oracle databases.
I had been happily plodding along on oracletool 2.0 for that last 2 years, I visited the site and saw that there was a newer version, version 2.2.
So I downloaded and installed that and found that it didn't work (something that had been added, ora_session_modes in DBD::Oracle required version 1.13 or greater of DBD::Oracle (I had 1.12)).
After spending a day and a half working out how to get DBD::Oracle 1.16, DBI 1.46 and Perl 5.8.5 compiled up for HP-UX 11.11 and Oracle 9.2.0.5, I was ready to give it a try.
When I try to invoke oracletool now (either 2.2 or the saved version 2.0 - but that may just be because I'm pointing the old one to the new perl...), I'm getting the following error in my apache error_log:
Can't load '/opt/perl5_64/lib/site_perl/5.8.5/PA-RISC2.0-LP64/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.sl' for module DBD::Oracle: No such

Now, I've checked the permissions on /opt/perl5_64/lib/site_perl/5.8.5/PA-RISC2.0-LP64/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.sl and it appears to be globally readable:
( I checked this by looking at it directory by directory dwn the tree and tried for several different users, but an example follows for user

$
Anyone have any ideas as to why this can't load? Unfortunately I know little about perl and apache, I only managed to get it working previously by sheer luck, I think
As an aside, if I point my previous version of the tool back at a version of perl that used to work, now I'm just getting the error line in the apache error_log that states premature end of script headers and nothing else.
Any help here appreciated.
Thanks
Steve
