Hi,

I am trying to build a 64 bit Perl from source on my home directory (as
non root) on Solaris 10. I downloaded the most current stable version
of Perl 5.8.8 from CPAN. I'm using the Solaris gcc compiler in
/usr/local/bin/gcc which is version 3.4.6. I get through the Configure
step OK but fail when trying to run make. The tail of the output is
listed below. I have searched the internet for others with this problem
but have not been able to find a solution. I have read the README file
for Solaris, the INSTALL notes and have looked through the hints script.
I am not a sysadmin so my options are limited - I cannot install a
different gcc compiler or make any changes to the system directories.
My objective is to have my own version of Perl so I can add the DBI and
DBD::ORACLE modules.

I am running Configure this way. I am taking all the defaults except I
remove directory /usr/lib as mentioned in the Solaris README notes.
sh ./Configure -Dprefix=/home/fred/perl_5.8.8 -Dcc=gcc -Duse64bitall
-Aldflags="-mcpu=v9 -m64" -Alddlflags="-mcpu=v9 -m64 -G"

Hi,

Is there anybody successfully complied the perl 5.10 on AMD64? I am using
ubuntu 7.10 and gcc.

Thanks,
Magix

hello,

please tell me how to use $Storable::interwork_56_64bit

Thanks in advance

I'm running 5.8.8 on 64-bit linux, and I have a nasty performance issue
that does not happen with the same perl program on 32-bit linux.

A small sample that exhibits the problem is:

use strict;

use Time::HiRes qw(time);
use HTTP::Request;

my %%l;

my $now = time;
for (my $i = 0; $i < 30000; $i++) {
my $dt = HTTP::Request->new(GET => "http://localhost/");

$l{$i} = $dt;
if ($i %% 1000 == 999) {
print time - $now,"\n";
$now = time;
}
}

Hi,
I hope I am addressing this to the right mailing list.

We have some applications running on old linux7.2 systems which we need to
port to 64 bit systems

Currently I am trying to compile perl5.005_03 on a Linux 2.4.21-4.ELsmp #1
SMP Fri Oct 3 17:32:58 EDT 2003 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux system.

I get the following error
# make
make: *** No rule to make target `', needed by `miniperlmain.o'.
Stop.

The closest I came to fixing this is via the thread

http://www.mail-archive.com/perl5-porters@perl.org/msg91076.html

Has anyone got an idea of what patch I need to apply for the sytem here.

Thanks.

Am not shure if this is more of a general problem. I installed perl
into an unusual directory but new modules, like XML-Parser, weren't
able to find installed modules, like ExtUtils. Though the @INC output in
the error message was fully correct. I installed perl into /usr and it
just worked for so.

Can somebody give me a hint if there's some general problem with perl
when not resided in /usr

Hi,

We have a 64-bit AIX box with v5.3 ( supposed to have the updated
Date API to handle dates past Jan 19,2038) and PERL 64 bit version
installed, but can't seem to use the

ctime64(),localtime64(),gmtime64() and other 64 bit date API's
functions.

Is there some PERL library we need to get this to work?

Please advice.

Thanks,

Nandhini
