I'm lazy. So when, while running make test on Perl, patch level 41, which I've just compiled under A/UX 2.0, I see comp.cpp........cc: wait returned from unrecognized child; pid 25587 cc: wait returned from unrecognized child; pid 25593 ok I immediately think of asking whether anybody else on the net has fixed this problem. It's not Perl that's barfing; it's /bin/cc. And the fault's not terminal: the results of running the preprocessor are what Perl was expecting. All other tests are absolutely ok. By the way, to get Perl going under A/UX, you need to specify ``optimizer flags'' as -O -B/usr/lib/big/ (otherwise compiler and/or assembler tables overflow on some modules), and to add -lposix to the list of libraries (otherwise rewinddir is not found). That's all. Pretty damned good. Thanks, Larry. -- Dominic Dunlop
