Hi. I need some advice. Have been explaining for several days to some coworkers that some Perl modules, like DBI and DBD::Oracle, have underlying shared objects. My understanding is that these files cannot be simply copied from Solaris 9 to Solaris 10. Am I missing something? There is the misconception that even though the script does not change "use DBI;" that there is no platform dependent code underneath. Even showing them the ".so" files is not working. Also, I have showed DBI as an example where there is Perl.c.
Help! Maybe I am not explaining right. Maybe I am not remembering my C compilation. Maybe... I do not know.
Thanks.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
