DBD::Oracle only installs under /root ?

toledotown has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello and good morning.

I am attempting to install the Perl module DBD::Oracle and the problem I am having is that it only installs under root after compiling! I am wanting it to install in a standard path that exists in my @INC array like /usr/local/lib64/perl5.

[root@server ~]# find / -name Oracle.pm /root/perl5/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/DBD/Oracle.pm

I have tried to set the PREFIX when running perl Makefile.PL but that does not appear to have any affect.

Here are the steps I am taking. The odd thing is this issue didn't occur when I did this install on the test server prior to production :(

There are no errors during make or make test just some minor warnings which also were present during the test install which was successful.

cd /root/.cpan/build/DBD-Oracle-1.74-XSQX0x/ export C_INCLUDE_PATH="/home/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/sdk/include" export ORACLE_BASE=/home/oracle export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/12.1.0.2 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/lib perl Makefile.PL 'PREFIX=/usr/local/lib64/perl5' make make test make install

I have also tried setting some values in CPAN such as makepl_arg and PREFIX.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

      Hey thanks, that seemed to get me part of the way there! Now it is installed in the right path but it added a bunch of directories....smh

      /usr/local/lib64/perl5/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/DBD/Oracle.pm

      My @INC array is expecting it explicitly at /usr/local/lib64/perl5/DBD/Oracle.pm

      Any ideas on this new development? My dev team doesn't want to change the @INC array as that would make this server a snowflake in terms of development environment lol. I can see their point..

        This does look odd. Can you respond to the which perl when run as root, along with the output of perl -V (please use code tags as specified when posting)?
