OK, perl hackers, you were so wonderfully helpful on my last round .... In my continuing effort to put perl 4.003 on the polyglot machines at work, I've run into a REALLY STRANGE one. I'm trying to put perl on an Intergraph under CTIX (basically SYSVR2). Perl compiles without problem or complaint under the Green Hills compiler supplied by Intergraph, but when I try to test it, BOOM! Run as 'make test' : cd t && chmod +x TEST */*.t cd t && (rm -f perl; ln -s ../perl .) && ./perl TEST </dev/tty base/cond......./base/cond.t: print: not found ./base/cond.t: =: not found ./base/cond.t: eq: not found ./base/cond.t: ne: not found ./base/cond.t: eq: not found ./base/cond.t: print: not found ./base/cond.t: ne: not found ./base/cond.t: print: not found ./base/cond.t: ==: not found ./base/cond.t: !=: not found ./base/cond.t: ==: not found ./base/cond.t: print: not found ./base/cond.t: !=: not found ./base/cond.t: print: not found FAILED on test 0 Failed a basic test--cannot continue. *** Error code 8 (ignored) But running tests individually I get: Run as 'perl t/base/comp.t' : 1..4 ok 1 ok 2 ok 3 ok 4 In fact, I can run every test manually and only cpp.t and goto.t fail (goto.t fails test 3 but ALSO says 'ok 3' - go figure). Clues?

It would appear that you have $sharpbang set to '#!' in config.sh, when
in fact your kernel doesn't recognize it. The hint is the "not found"
messages--Perl doesn't ever give such a message, but the shells do
frequently. Hence, a shell is attempting to execute a Perl script.
Either you used a foreign config.sh file on this machine, or Configure
got loused up over #!, possibly because you ran it under some shell other
than /bin/sh that emulates #!. Or a Nazi spy snuck in while you weren't
watching and edited your config.sh...

BUT Configure INSISTS that "#!" works, even when run explicitly under 'sh' by doing a: $/bin/sh Configure EVEN THOUGH '#!' DOESN'T WORK! It also didn't detect that I ran it with ksh the very first time through. I double checked: /bin/sh is NOT linked/aliased to ksh or csh. I grant, Intergraphs run the Mutant UNIX From Hell (obstensibly 'pure' SYS V - but it ISN'T) so perhaps I've just stumbled across something Configure hasn't dealt with before. BTW - on some SYS V machines (the I-graph AND my home 3B1) the 'new' "force a script to run perl even though it doesn't support #!" statement doesn't seem to work properly. On a program which does interactive I/O, the input constantly thinks it has an input and so I can watch the prompt from the perl script scroll up my screen at a fascinatingly high rate. Using the 'old' version (from 3.044 'nih') cures the problem.
