compiling perl 5.6 using gcc on a 11.0 system

[Curtis Larson]

This is the first time I've compilied perl using gcc. And I was wondering if anyone would care to share how they did this. What i'm looking for is the compilier options and which of the test failed.

I'm on a 32bit 11.00 system using gcc version 2.95.2 compiling perl 5.6.0

Any additional helpful comments would be appreciated.

Curtis:

there is a pre-compiled version available at:

http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Languages/perl-5.6.0/

it will save you all the compilation blues.

Good luck

I had to do this a few months ago. I could NOT use the depot file for perl because I had to recompile perl 5.6 with new stuff. Attached are my notes. Hope they help.
