Re^2: Core dump

«I didn't know that Oracle comes with a bundled Perl and I'm not sure why...»

Probably because this crap is a Perl app. Once upon a time I opened a ticket at Oracle Support because this beast forked itself to death and killed the machine where it was running. After 1/2 year or so I gave it up because they couldn’t solve the issue and turned EM off for ever. The other ugly details/reasons I suppressed.

But is there any reason for a DBA to use the bundled Perl directly?

The longer I think about the OPs question, the more bizarre it becomes...

«…any reason…»

No. But as always it’s more difficult. Oracle comes with it’s own environment. Everything runs under the UID oracle E.g. if you install DBI it only works if you do it as user oracle. If you are lucky. It might be interesting to see what which perl would tell if called as user oracle.
