lib/DBD/Oracle/Troubleshooting/Hpux.pod  view on Meta::CPAN

explained in this document and in some discussion forums at HP.com
site. I have learned, that HP issued patch PHSS_24304 for HP-UX 11.11
and PHSS_24303 for HP-UX 11.00, which introduced variable LD_PRELOAD.
I haven't tried it yet, but it seems promising that it would allow you
to completely avoid building your own Perl binary, as it would be enough
to set LD_PRELOAD to libjava.sl (for example) and all
'Cannot load XXXlibrary' during building of DBD::Oracle should be gone.

The documentation says, that setting this variable should have the same
effect as linking binary with this library. Also please note, that this
variable is used only when binary is not setuid nor setgid binary (for
obvious security reasons).

It seems, that the best way to find out if you already have this patch
applied, is to check if 'man 5 dld.sl' says anything about LD_PRELOAD
environment variable.

Best regards,
