NAME

perlhaiku - Perl version 5.10+ on Haiku

DESCRIPTION

This file contains instructions how to build Perl for Haiku and listsknown problems.

BUILD AND INSTALL

The build procedure is completely standard:

  ./Configure -de
 
  make
 
  make install
 

Make perl executable and create a symlink for libperl:

  chmod a+x /boot/common/bin/perl
 
  cd /boot/common/lib; ln -s perl5/5.16.0/BePC-haiku/CORE/libperl.so .
 

Replace 5.16.0 with your respective version of Perl.

KNOWN PROBLEMS

The following problems are encountered with Haiku revision 28311:

• Perl cannot be compiled with threading support ATM.

• The ext/Socket/t/socketpair.t test fails. More precisely: the subtestsusing datagram sockets fail. Unix datagram sockets aren't implemented inHaiku yet.

• A subtest of the ext/Sys/Syslog/t/syslog.t test fails. This is due to Haikunot implementing /dev/log support yet.

• The tests lib/Net/Ping/t/450_service.t and lib/Net/Ping/t/510_ping_udp.tfail. This is due to bugs in Haiku's network stack implementation.

CONTACT

For Haiku specific problems contact the HaikuPorts developers:http://ports.haiku-files.org/

The initial Haiku port was done by Ingo Weinhold <[email protected]>.
