[comp.sources.bugs] perl 3.0 bugs

Is this supposed to be fixed by patch#6 or is it known????
> make test

line 21:

I could have sworn that someone mentioned this a long time ago.
Am I experiencing UBD or is this a real problem?

I'm working on an IBM RT/AIX 2.2.1.  Well you can't have everything :-).

For those of you frustrated with getting Perl to compile with AIX2.2.1
on IBM/RT, try it with the optimizer option off with the compiler.
Everything should work fine, after a few changes here and there to get
the code compiled. Perl is great!
