perlhaiku - Perl version 5.10+ on Haiku
This file contains instructions how to build Perl for Haiku and lists known problems.
The build procedure is completely standard:
./Configure -demakemake installMake perl executable and create a symlink for libperl:
chmod a+x /boot/common/bin/perlcd /boot/common/lib; ln -s perl5/5.40.0/BePC-haiku/CORE/libperl.so .Replace5.40.0 with your respective version of Perl.
The following problems are encountered with Haiku revision 28311:
Perl cannot be compiled with threading support ATM.
Thecpan/Socket/t/socketpair.t test fails. More precisely: the subtests using datagram sockets fail. Unix datagram sockets aren't implemented in Haiku yet.
A subtest of thecpan/Sys-Syslog/t/syslog.t test fails. This is due to Haiku not implementing/dev/log support yet.
The testsdist/Net-Ping/t/450_service.t anddist/Net-Ping/t/510_ping_udp.t fail. This is due to bugs in Haiku's network stack implementation.
For Haiku specific problems contact the HaikuPorts developers:https://github.com/haikuports/haikuports
The initial Haiku port was done by Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>.
