- perl5.001l.bs.NIH.tar.gz contains a complete build of perl5.001
- patchlevel 'l' for m68k, i386, and hppa architectures. It includes
- the following features:
-
- - MAB binaries and library
- - seperate, architecure specific library trees
- (lib/perl/{m68k,hppa,i386}-next).
- - source with *complete* hints files for each architecture (including
- sparc-- i haven't had a chance to build 5.001e on sparc)
- - MAB library and MAB config.h appear in lib/perl5/MAB-next. config.h
- automatically #imports the correct config.h for whatever architecture
- is being built.
- - /usr/local/lib/site/perl5 is automatically included in @INC
- - all architectures were built native to that architecure. Perl is
- notoriously difficult to build MAB from a single architecture.
-
- All architectures pass all tests. All architectures have been tested
- against some extended tests (mainly, a custom select test that can
- break a cross-compiled version of perl).
-
- I'll build sparc when I get the chance; but that may take a while.
- If someone wants to build sparc and send me the resulting tree of
- resources, I'll integrate it into this package and make a new release.
