In case anybody is interested I finally got perl to run on our aix machine
here. Actually, the fix was quite simple. The only problem was with
Configure. Configure didn't work because of a bug in /bin/sh (this
bug is not present in the version of AIX we have running on our RS/6000s).
The problem is with case statements on null strings. I simply put a dummy
character in the appropriate places (as somebody in this newsgroup suggested
-- sorry, I forget who you are).
After this change to configure, it worked and everything compiled ok (although
I did get a lot of warnings and other types of ugly messages). If anybody
is interested, I have that patches to Configure that are needed to get
it to work. Just send me mail.
Maybe Larry will want to include these in the next set of patches that go
out (they shouldn't break anything on other machines -- I hope :-).
