NAME


perlhaiku - Perl version 5.10+ on Haiku

DESCRIPTION


This file contains instructions how to build Perl for Haiku and lists known 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 perl5/5.22.1/BePC-haiku/CORE/libperl.so .

Replace 5.22.1 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 subtests using datagram
sockets fail. Unix datagram sockets aren't implemented in Haiku yet.

· A subtest of the ext/Sys/Syslog/t/syslog.t test fails. This is due to Haiku not
implementing /dev/log support yet.

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

CONTACT


For Haiku specific problems contact the HaikuPorts developers:

The initial Haiku port was done by Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>.
