Michael is exactly right.
chatr shows that your sybase extension dynamically links to libm.2, while perl
is linking to earlier libraries. Thinking back, it is libc (C runtime) that
defines _DINFINITY, and libm (maths) that reads it - BUT, only v2 of libc does
this, so libc.1 and libm.2 are incompatible.
It's no good trying to link your perl extension to libc.2, because the dynamic
libraries are loaded explicitly during runtime by dynloader, using an HP-UX
system call to load it (forget its name,) and this will not work for libraries
containing data with thread-local storage, which libc has. Therefore you
absolutely must have your sybase library link libm, but get its libc from the
main perl executable, so they have to be compatible, so you have to rebuild
perl!
Maybe you get the chatr warning because your version of perl has old libraries.
It doesn't matter though: you have to rebuild anyway, and you should be okay
thereafter - your version of HP-UX should have all up to date tools, and when
you chatr your new perl executable, you should get something like:
./perl:
shared executable
shared library dynamic path search:
SHLIB_PATH disabled second
embedded path disabled first Not Defined
shared library list:
dynamic /usr/lib/libnsl.1
dynamic /usr/lib/libnm.sl
dynamic /usr/lib/libdld.2
dynamic /usr/lib/libm.2
dynamic /usr/lib/libc.2
dynamic /usr/lib/libsec.2
shared library binding:
deferred
global hash table disabled
plabel caching disabled
global hash array size:1103
global hash array nbuckets:3
shared vtable support disabled
static branch prediction disabled
executable from stack: D (default)
kernel assisted branch prediction enabled
lazy swap allocation disabled
text segment locking disabled
data segment locking disabled
third quadrant private data space disabled
fourth quadrant private data space disabled
data page size: D (default)
instruction page size: D (default)
I didn't have any particular trouble building perl 5.6.1 (latest version,) so I
hope you'll be okay.
Any further problems let me know & I'll try & help (I'm in England, hence the
time differences and slow answer.)
Regards,
Abe

I'm not really up-to-date on HP-UX (as in - I've never used it!) but
it seems that the warning when running the chatr command on the perl
binary might indicate that there's something wrong with it.
Maybe you could try rebuilding the perl binary?
