NAME

6       perlhaiku - Perl version 5.10+ on Haiku
7

DESCRIPTION

9       This file contains instructions how to build Perl for Haiku and lists
10       known problems.
11

BUILD AND INSTALL

13       The build procedure is completely standard:
14
15         ./Configure -de
16         make
17         make install
18
19       Make perl executable and create a symlink for libperl:
20
21         chmod a+x /boot/common/bin/perl
22         cd /boot/common/lib; ln -s perl5/5.38.2/BePC-haiku/CORE/libperl.so .
23
24       Replace 5.38.2 with your respective version of Perl.
25

KNOWN PROBLEMS

27       The following problems are encountered with Haiku revision 28311:
28
29       •   Perl cannot be compiled with threading support ATM.
30
31       •   The cpan/Socket/t/socketpair.t test fails. More precisely: the
32           subtests using datagram sockets fail. Unix datagram sockets aren't
33           implemented in Haiku yet.
34
35       •   A subtest of the cpan/Sys-Syslog/t/syslog.t test fails. This is due
36           to Haiku not implementing /dev/log support yet.
37
38       •   The tests dist/Net-Ping/t/450_service.t and
39           dist/Net-Ping/t/510_ping_udp.t fail. This is due to bugs in Haiku's
40           network stack implementation.
