I would like to know if anybody has ported PERL on DECStation 5000 running Ultrix 4.0. Are there any problems and what are the traps to avoid? Any suggestions and comments! Please send me back response or generously post it. Thanks!

However, the dbm code seems to be havign problems on the OSF/1 OS, which is demonstraited by the following (data never gets written to the datafiles): exit 0 if ($#ARGV < 0); $dbname = $ARGV[0]; dbmopen(%s,$dbname,0666); $s{'foo'}++; $s{'bar'}++; dbmclose(%stats); exit 0; I am assuming that the problem is not in perl, but rather something that we haven't discoved about OSF/1 (yet). - Marc -- =========================================================================== Marc Evans - WB1GRH - evans@decvax.DEC.COM | Synergytics (603)635-8876 Unix and X Software Consultant | 21 Hinds Ln, Pelham, NH 03076 ===========================================================================
