DBD 1.03 hangs in make test on Red Hat 6.0 with 8i

Question

DBD-Oracle-1.03 is hanging running test.pl in make test.
top showed perl eating 95%+ cpu usage, and strace showed no
system calls being called. I first encountered this
identical hang with DBI-1.06.tar and DBD-Oracle-0.61, but
upgraded them before reporting this bug. Here's the
pedigree:
Red Hat 6.0
Some mainstream patches applied from Red Hat
Oracle 8i via web download
Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.5.0.0 -
Production
With the Partitioning and Java options
Red Hat's shipped perl, 5.00503
DBI-1.13
make test succeeded completely
DBD-Oracle-1.03
make test hung in test.pl
top showed perl with 95%+ cpu usage
strace showed no system calls called by perl
Do you have perl, DBD, and 8i running on Red Hat 6.0? If
so, can you try running the short test program below and see
if it hangs?
----- command line
(run in DBD top-level directory, as user oracle)
[oracle@rtcab2 DBD-Oracle-1.03]$ PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 \
/usr/bin/perl -Iblib/arch -Iblib/lib \
-I/usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i386-linux \
-I/usr/lib/perl5/5.00503 test.pl
----- Oracle DBI's test.pl hacked to a minimum
----- test case that hangs
$| = 1;
$dbname = '';
$dbuser = 'scott/tiger';
use Oraperl;
my @data_sources = DBI->data_sources('Oracle');
local($l) = &ora_login($dbname, $dbuser, '');
&ora_logoff($l)

I was able to do that... I am running:
Oracle 8.0.5 with the Glibc patches..
RH 6.0
It compiled without problems... get the latest versions:
DBD::Oracle 1.01
DBI 1.08
Make sure you have DBI installed first...
