Oracle-OCI-0.06 does not boot on Sun Solaris 8 with Perl 8

Hello!

On a Sun server E450 with Solaris 8/SunOS 5.8 I am trying to install=20
Oracle-OCI-0.06. Oracle is of version 8.1.7.0. Since the system's Perl=20
is only 5.005 I installed the Perl 5.8 packege from Sun Freeware.

First boot exacution was:

    v-string in use/require non-portable at ./boot line 3.

So I tried to add a description for OCIError and the data type ub4. When =

I finally had fixed all missing functions and data types a ./boot=20
proceeded like that:
