RE: dbd::oracle 1.16 failing t/50cursor.t line 91

Hi,

I am very new to perl. I am trying to upgrade our perl which was
installed 3 years ago by a person no longer with the company.
I have been closely following instructions in README and README.hpux
for perl 5.8.7, dbi 1.49 and dbd::oracle 1.16
as well as instructions left by the person who did the install 3 years
ago. BUT, I am stuck on the make test process for the dbd module.


I am getting the following the error whether I compile against an Oracle
9.2.0.5 or an Oracle 10.1.0.4

Failed Test Stat Wstat Total Fail Failed List of Failed
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------

t/50cursor.t 255 65280 1002 400 39.92% 803-1002
22 subtests skipped.
Failed 1/18 test scripts, 94.44% okay. 200/2013 subtests failed, 90.06%
okay.

....
closing cursors
ok 802
closing cursor 1
Can't bind a reference (DBI::st=HASH(0x401f40d4)) at t/50cursor.t line
91.

I have found no hits in online searches for this issue.

I setup an oracle on logon trace and ran the 50cursor.t test, but the
oracle trace did not show any errors returned.

I have attached the output from script command and labelled the
following sections

NOW FOR make realclean
NOW FOR perl Makefile.PL
NOW FOR make
NOW FOR make test
NOW FOR -Mblib of failed test
NOW FOR perl -v output
NOW FOR perl -V capital V

<<dbd_compile_and_test.gz>>


I have also attached the tusc output from a run of the perl -Mblib
t/50cursor.t test.

<<tusc_of_50cursor.txt.gz>>

Has anybody else encountered this issue or have advice on next step?

Thanks Dave
