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 perl5/5.20.2/BePC-haiku/CORE/libperl.so .
Replace 5.20.2 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 AT gmx.de>.
