We're currently upgrading a system. The current system uses Perl 5.6 and
an Oracle 10.1 client. The client is installed on Debian Linux. The
server is installed on Red Hat Linux. The new system runs Debian Lenny
which comes with Perl 5.10. The server is running Oracle 10.2 on Red ...

I am having trouble in a Windows Server 2003 64 bit environment getting Perl
to see MS SQL 2005 via ODBC.  Would someone kindly point me in the correct
direction.  We are using the latest Active State 64 bit version.  Everything

I've been working on a build of Perl for Windows that includes
Gtk2-Perl and DBI/DBD drivers. I call it Camelbox. Along with all of
the GTK stuff, you can install the DBI and DBD::[Pg|mysql|ODBC|SQLite]
modules (including all of the binaries needed for those modules), and

I'm experiencing a similar problem to that reported last month by Jan
Carlsson - see for example:
http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.dbi.users/2008/08/msg33156.html
This is both a 64-bit Centos 4.6 box:

Using perl 5.9.5 on Windows the following:
perl -d -e "use DBI; use strict;use warnings;my $h = DBI->connect;{local
$h->{LongReadLen} = 10;print "hello\n";}"
outputs "use of uninitialized variable in subroutine entry" when

I've been banging my head against the wall for two weeks now on this  
one.
I'm desperately trying to update my existing production system (Oracle
