Dhandapani,
I recently went thru this exercise and after a while was finally able to get the Perl DBI/DBD modules for Oracle to work. We are on Solaris 10 (Opteron 64 servers) using 10g (10.2.0.3). Here are some guidelines you many find useful.
- Perl for Solaris is shipped as a 32bit version which is fine for most Perl apps. Leave the default install alone (/usr/perl5) as this is used by the operating system and could make your OS become unusable if tampered with. Instead, you will need to compile another 64 bit version of perl. I first did this in my home directory and later installed it for production use in /opt/perl5 (/usr/local/bin/perl5 is another alternate you can use).
- After building and installing the local version of Perl, create an environment file that points to that version. That means, /usr/bin should come last in your PATH. Also, be sure to unset/reset any perl library and LD_LIBRARY_PATHs to point to the newly installed version ahead of the system installed one.
- Begin installing the DBI/DBD modules. DBI is rather straight forward but the DBD test is where I had the issue. This was resolved once I recompiled a 64 bit version of Perl and made sure it was placed ahead of the installed version. Recent your PERL5LIB to point to your 64 bit version.
I think I still have instructions so email me off-line and I can send them to you.
Kind regards,
Chris Langston

Yes your correct..Do the Perl supports 64-bit Operating systems
Kinldy help me on how is should get it work on Oracle 64-bit Solaris Operating system
[bash]perl create_ddl.pl Can't locate DBI.pm in @INC (@INC contains:

create_ddl.pl line 16.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at create_ddl.pl line 16.
While the DBI.pm is present in both directories specified below, the Perl @INC array is pointing to non existent directories.
When I specify Including the Oracle directories (command line perl -I $ORACLE_HOME/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.3/sun4-solaris-thread-multi -I $ORAC LE_HOME/perl/lib/5.8.3 create_ddl.pl,
I get the error:
perl -I $ORACLE_HOME/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.3/sun4-solaris-thread-multi
-I $ORACLE_HOME/perl/lib/5.8.3 create_ddl.pl --pwd <password removed>
Can't load
'/usr/local/oracle/product/10.2.0.3/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.3/sun4-solari

Compilation failed in require at create_ddl.pl line 18.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at create_ddl.pl line 18.
The other error is due to the perl istallation pointing at the wrong
include directories. This tells it where to look for the perl modules
(*.pm) files, and other things. It is set when perl is installed on a
computer. You can add include libraries to perl with the "-I"
parameter, and can have as many of them as you want (look at the command
perl -I $ORACLE_HOME/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.3/sun4-solaris-thread-multi
-I $ORACLE_HOME/perl/lib/5.8.3 create_ddl.pl, there are 2 -I
parameters).
Also,
[bash]perl -V

The real question is does PERL support 64-bit operating systems?
We use PERL all the time on 64-bit systems with Oracle the only problematic part is trying to get Perl, DBI and DBD to compile on a 64bit system.
Once it is up and running I have never run into any issues with 32bit vs 64 bit Oracle and PERL.
cheers
