But that "general discussion" also answered your specific question. It was my intention to explain a bit of the background, so you can see _why_ it is not possible (or at least very difficult) instead of asking over and over again. You cannot run object code for different ABIs within the same process image, unless the code doesn't do any syscalls (database libraries certainly require syscalls), or you write some "wrapper" glue code that switches or translates the ABI. I doubt that anyone has done the latter, because it's a very non-trivial task. It is _much_ easier to install Linux perl and be done with it (well, or install the old Oracle8 FreeBSD client from the Ports if you don't absolutely need to have the Oracle10 client).
