I am trying to compile perl 4.0 on an AT&T 3B2/600G running Unix System V 3.2 I finally go it to compile cleanly after tracking down several symbols that were multiply defined. ( I think due to incorrect libraries being included) But when I run make test It failed about 13 tests. I don't quite understand what the problem is because when I run the test for cmdopt by hand (by saying ./perl cmdopt.t) it appears to run fine. All ok's returned. Anybody have a guess as to why they would fail when running from the make file but pass ok when run by hand? Is my new executable usable? I think I got similar errors (but fewer) when I compiled 3.44 and that seems to work ok. I am just starting to get hooked on perl -- love those associative arrays -- and I am waiting anxiously for my copy of the camel book.
