compiling perl 5.8.8 on HPUX 11.11 with threads

[Kleener]

Hey all,

Having trouble compiling perl 5.8.8 using the -Dusethreads flag on the Congfigure script. It keeps popping up the following error at various stages at the make test stage....

Can't call method "join" on an undefined
value at

I can run a make install but then running any join command in a script fails.

Any ideas?

Regards

Brian

*WHY* do you want a threaded perl?

*IF* you want a threaded perl, ActiveState has a prebuilt binary for you, which also happens to be shipped with HP-UX as application. http://www.hp.com/go/perl

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn [ who never ever felt the need for a threaded perl in production ]

Agreed - Convinced the user not to use threading - Perl will not support it in a production environment- Thanks
