[comp.lang.perl] Compiling perl on a DECstation under Ultrix 3.1d/4.1...

stealth@engin.umich.edu (Mike Pelletier) (06/29/91)

After trying to compile the code both with and without the -Olimit 2900
option, and running the tests, I get the following:

op/eval........FAILED on test 9
op/s...........FAILED on test 40

As suggested, I went through the tests and ran them individually, and
printed out the individual parts, and it showed that indeed, something
is amiss with the s/\d+/$&*2/ function, but as for what to do about it...

Has anyone sucessfully compiled perl on the DECstations under Ultrix
3.1d or 4.1 who might be able to offer suggestions?  Or should I get
ahold of gcc...?
