Notes on Perl on the Hurd
Last Updated: Fri, 12 Feb 1999 21:11:14 +0100
Written by: Mark Kettenis <kettenis@gnu.org>
* Known Problems
There are several problems with Perl on the Hurd. Most of them are
related to bugs in the OS, some might be actual bugs in Perl.
The database code has problems that make Perl crash. When running the
test-suite one of the tests will crash. Note that on the Hurd when a
program crashes, the crash server suspends the program. Continuing
the program will cause it to exit.
The socket tests may fail if the network is not configured. You have
to make `/hurd/pfinet' the translator for `/servers/socket/2', giving
it the right arguments. Try `/hurd/pfinet --help' for more
information. It seems that it is currently not possible to do this
right when you do not have a supported network device. Therefore all
tests that use INET sockets fail on my system, suggesting that the
`localhost' address may not be defined.
Here are the statistics for Perl 5.005_03 on my system:
