I have been using Oraperl on Alpha OSF/1 for a while now and have come across 2 bugs so far which I have fixed :-

  1. In orafns.c there are 2 calls to odsc. The 3rd argument to odsc is a MANDATORY pointer to a short. The calls in orafns pass a NULL! To solve this I invent a dummy short value and pass a pointer to it. This fix has stopped some oraperl core dumping.
  2. The size of the HDA in getcursor.c should be 512 for a 64-bit machine such as the Alpha chip.

Does anyone know of any other gotchas?
