[comp.lang.perl] Perl pl.28 on IRIS 4D/S380

meb@ee.mu.OZ.AU (Matthew Barry) (09/13/90)

I am trying to get perl running on an iris 4d/s380 running irix 3.3.
The source for perl is patched to level 28 and runs on a couple of
other architectures.  The compilation worked excecpt for a couple of
warning about unreached statements.  Configure had a small problem in
that it decided that signal returned an int when the compiler thought
in was void.  When I tried to run make test no tests were run.
Running the tests by hand I found the following ones appear to be
failing:

	base.term
		not ok 1 core dump
	cmd.while
		ok 9 then core dump
	comp.cpp
		not ok 2 (cpp: error Comp.cpp,tmp:3: Can't find include file
		   	  Comp.cpp.inc) Core sump
	comp.multiline
		ok 3 then core dump
	comp.package
		not ok 1 ('bar:main:ABC:XYZ:xyz')
		not ok 2
	io.dup
		ok 1 core dump
	io.fs
		core dump
	io.inplace
		core dump
	op.exec
		not ok 2
		not ok 3
		not ok 4
		not ok 6
		ok 8 then core dump
	op.mkdir
		core dump
	op.sort
		not ok 1
		not ok 2
		not ok 3
	op.stat
		core dump
	op.write
		core dump

The results are the same with and without optimization turned on
during compilation.  Does anyone have perl running on the iris?
