There have recently been several articles in this group reporting problems compiling and bugs in Perl 3.0 with AIX/RT 2.2.1. To get this combination working, you need to have Perl patch 6 installed, and to use -DCRIPPLED_CC in the compiler options. It is *not* necessary to change any of the Perl sources, nor is it necessary to turn off compiler optimizing. It will be necessary to use -a to complie doio.c (and tdoio.c); it probably wouldn't hurt anything to simply add it to the compiler flags in the Makefile. With these few simple adjustments, I've compiled Perl 3.0 and run all of the tests, on AIX/RT 2.2.1, with no problems. jw
