and the winner : Rachel Polanskis <rachel@juno.virago.org.au> for his major
contribution.
And now, the summary.
Yes, of course, it is possible to install Perl on Sun OS 4.1.1.
Get the latest version. The versions 5.003, 5.002 and 4.036 work fine.
gcc (2.6.3 or later) is recommended but cc should work. It's also
recommended to build Perl as super-user becauses the configure script works
better as super-user.
With SunOS, it failed 10% of the tests, which was not good,
but managed to obtain a 100% test success with a static build of the extensions.
(look at precision from Rachel Polanskis below).
Also, if you have the space, install Tcl and Tk, which built without
error on an IPC, and also Perl-Tk which provides graphical extensions to
perl 5.00X.
Precision from Rachel Polanskis <rachel@juno.virago.org.au> :
>On Saturday,

>ld.so needs the absolute path to some of the libraries that contain

>break.
>By removing "/lib:" from the LD_LIBRARY_PATH we achieved
