[Macpartners] Perl Oracle DBD on OS X Leopard

Hello,

Has anyone tried to install the Perl Oracle DBD for an OS X Oracle  
instance? I am using Leopard on a 64-bit intel iMac.

Perl which comes standard on OS X 10.5 is 32-bit, and the install  
process results in a 32 bit DBD; Oracle is 64-bit. When perl tries to  
call an Oracle function via the DBD it gets a dynamic link error. I  
think I need a 64 bit perl and DBD. Does anyone have any experience  
with this?

TIA.
