Perl 4.0 beta came right up on Apollo m68k and Series 10000 machines, BSD4.3
environment, either sr10.2 or sr10.3 Domain/OS. There was one problem in the
Configure script related to not searching both /lib/libc *and* /lib/clib (sigh);
the included patch fixes that. (Note that the patch is not official, I included
it here in hopes that Larry would pick it up.)
The only test failure was:
op/stat........-T and -B not implemented on filehandles
FAILED on test 45
This is because Configure said: "Your stdio isn't very std."
Here's the Configure patch:

echo "Your C library is in /lib/libc.a. You're normal."

This was a typical problem several patches ago, but Larry fixed it back then when it was brought to his attention. At patchlevel 44, Configure finds both Apollo libraries. So, somehow the fix got lost between 3.0.44 and 4.0. >The only test failure was: > >op/stat........-T and -B not implemented on filehandles >FAILED on test 45 > >This is because Configure said: "Your stdio isn't very std." This, too, was a problem at one time, but it was fixed a long time ago, at patchlevel 18, I think, or soon thereafter. Anyway, Configure in patchlevel 44 reports stdio as standard. The op.stat test 45 works fine. I suspect that Larry re-built Configure via Megaconfig for Perl 4.0, but that Megaconfig had not been updated with the Apollo specific info that fixes these Apollo specific problems. Did I guess right, Larry? -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kevin Gallagher kgallagh@digi.lonestar.org OR ...!uunet!digi!kgallagh DSC Communications Corporation Addr: MS 152, 1000 Coit Rd, Plano, TX 75075 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
