 From the listing, one that is similar to my problem has the following 
answer from the author of DBD-Oracle:


       The kinds of errors you're seeing look very odd.

       I suggest you upgrade to 5.8.6 and rebuild perl (or perhaps build
       a new perl and install it somewhere else). Ideally without threading
       enabled.

So questions.
1. Is it safe to upgrade to perl 5.8.6? Currently, it is 5.8.3.
2. How does one rebuild perl?
3. How does one turn off threading?

Thanks,
-hk
