RE: Opatch error

On Unix (or at least my Linux RHES platforms), the following two basic rules apply.

1. OPatch must be run inside the actual patch directory itself. I.e. the directory that contains the patch number.
2. OPatch must be run using the full path to the Perl program and must not be resolved via the o/s environment path as this invalidates rule 1.

Simple example. This does not work (rule 1 violated): /software/oracle/pacthes/123456789/notes> opatch apply

This does not work (rule 2 voliated):
/software/oracle/pacthes/123456789> opatch apply

This works:
/software/oracle/pacthes/123456789>
/software/oracle/product/10.1.0/OPatch/opatch apply

No idea what the relevance, if any, is to the Windows o/s. But on Linux RHES AMD64, it applies. (rule 2 is especially weird and seems be an issue with how the Perl Interpreter is invoked)
