- Hey, I've only been using Unix for 7 years. So when I ran Configure to install
- Perl on my RS/6000 (AIX 3.2) and realized it knew more about all the U*x
- flavors than I did, I took ALL the defaults, even when a few "WHOA there"
- messages appeared.
-
- A few weeks later when my setuid/seteuid Perl program wouldn't work I finally
- figured out what Configure was complaining about - the released 4.0/35
- configure undefines:
-
- d_setregid='undef'
- d_setreuid='undef'
- d_setrgid='undef'
- d_setruid='undef'
- d_setegid='undef'
- d_seteuid='undef'
-
- Larry, these can now be safely defined for the next release of Perl ...
-
- Just anovice Perl hacker,
-
- socket(S,2,1,6);connect(S,pack('Sna4x8',2,4031,($j,$j,$j,$j,$j)=gethostbyname(
- 'Turkey.CC.Lehigh.EDU')));print <S>;
