Hello

I am trying to install DBD-Informix in the following environment:
HP-UX11.11 64bit
Informix 9.4 HC1
Informix CSDK 2.81 or esql 9.53
Gcc 3.3.3
Perl 5.8.0

Here is the error that I am getting after running the make test:

Is this error due to the way perl was compiled?

I have seen this error mentioned several times on the Web but have not found
