I ftp'd the perl.4.0.beta from J.P.L. this morning. It installs readily on the SUM 3/80 O/S 4.0.3 gnu C 1.39 using gnu C malloc and gnumake. The make test shows "All tests successful" u=3.6333 s=2.95 cu=24.75 cs=17.95 . Now to wrap it up and install on my NeXTslab-2.0 . I'll report on NeXT later.

Correct make, test, and install, Sun386i/SunOS 4.0.2, Sun CC, Gnu Make
3.59. All tests successful.
Only one hitch -
At every stage (make all - make test - make install) Make (both GNU
and the system (Sun) make) is insisting on recompiling *everything*
from the .c level forward. I don't remember this having been a
problem before, but I could be wrong.
I'm sorry to say that I haven't been able to debug the Makefile yet,
so I can't tell you why this is happening. Just wanted to say it
compiles and runs OK.

Hate to break the chain of success stories, but ... Looks like "Configure" now determines (correctly) that I'm a MIPS using the BSD environment. However, there are quite a few problems. It scans the SYSV libc.a to find symbols, so things like bcopy aren't found. I beat on it for a few hours, but didn't get a successful build out of it. I don't have time to work on it anymore right now, so I'll have to send you the changes after the beta period is over. -- Randall S.
