Re: [tbox-l] Compiling PERL modules

Scott,

It's not a problem getting Perl, it's that the version provided by IBM
is compiled with the IBM compiler and modules compiled with any other
compiler will fail.  The solution is to either install the IBM compiler
($$$) and use that to compile your Perl modules, or build Perl and your
modules from GCC (Open Source & free :).

With AIX version 5.x, you can get perl install right from the AIX 5.x
CDs via the "smit install_latest" command.  Well, that would depend on
the Perl's minimum required version you need. =20

Yes, Perl is notoriously finicky about it's modules being built with the
same compiler.  I ran into this problem 6 months ago and eventually had
to compile Perl myself using GCC.  It wasn't fun, but at least I have a
Perl that works now.  :/ =20

You might also get a precompiled Perl install from the Bull site
(http://www.bullfreeware.com/) or the PDSL
http://aixpdslib.seas.ucla.edu/).

Because the PERL for AIX was compiled with the IBM C compiler, I've
found you really need to have it installed when compiling other modules.
Trying to use gcc just doesn't work.  In looking at other mailing lists
the requirement to compile modules with the same compiler as PERL was
compiled with seems to not be just an IBM AIX problem, but quite common.
