| Subject: | DBD::JDBC seems broken wrt Perl v5.8.0 |
I recently installed Perl v.5.8.0 on my Solaris box and tried to load the DBD::JDBC module using the cpan utility. It download ok, and make went well, but when test was done, I get the following error output:

The version of Perl I have was downloaded and installed on October 10 or 11 from http://www.cpan.org/ and reports (perl -v):
This is perl, v5.8.0 built for sun4-solaris
A uname -a on this box responds:
SunOS phantom 5.8 Generic_108528-03 sun4m sparc SUNW,SPARCstation-5
Since everything else about the Perl installation seems to work fine, an all other modules I have tried seem to install and work well, I am wondering if it could be a compatibility problem with this version of Perl.
Hopefully you can help me get this module working in my environment.
Thanks
