AIX Open Source

Good day,
Our application team is trying to deploy and execute a web application on one AIX server, the application needs to use the 64bit version of perl, however they have the following errors and the third level of the application team mentioned that the modules are not compatible with 64bit Perl version and it's necessary to change the Perl version.

 We want to validate the necessary steps needed at OS level in order to accomplish the application and application perl scripts use the 64bit Perl version, if there are dependencies or something to modify at OS level.

Could you please guide us with this topic?

Errors at Web application level:

By default /usr/bin/perl points at the 32-bit version.

If your application requires the 64-bit version, call /usr/bin/perl64.

If LIBPATH is defined, make sure that it starts with "/usr/lib".

DBI isn't a part of perl.rte, where did you get it from ?  Was it compiled on the same AIX/perl versions ?
