Bug in DBD Makefile.PL?

Hi,

I've downloded the DBD-Oracle-1.14.tar.gz and installed it on a HP-UX
Itanium 11.23 against Oracle 9.2.0. When I tried to run perl Makefile.PL
I've got an error saying:

Undefined subroutine &MY::hpux_libdir called at Makefile.PL line 1338.

To solve this I had to copy the subroutine hpux_libdir and hpux_lib64
from futher up in the Mailfile.PL script and place it within the package
MY.

Is this a known bug?

I've managed to build perl with DBD and DBI with dynamically linked
gcc-compilation. I've had to do some steps to modify some files during
the DBD installation. I've attached my reciept how to do this, since
there wasn't any reciept on how to do this with the gcc compilator. I
haven't made any complete Makefile like Tim have done in the DBD README
file, since I don't have access directly to the Internet and therefor
can't do an installation based on using CPAN. Also because of the "bug"
(?) I found in Makefile.PL.

regards
Morten Kristiansen
