The old "gnu-0.2" -binary distribution will most certainly have additional problems. - -=head2 Known Problems with Perl on Hurd - -The Perl test suite may still report some errors on the Hurd. The -"lib/anydbm" and "pragma/warnings" tests will almost certainly fail. -Both failures are not really specific to the Hurd, as indicated by the -test suite output. - -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.

Likely candidates are: "op/stat", "lib/io_pipe", -"lib/io_sock", "lib/io_udp" and "lib/time". - -In any way, if you're seeing failures beyond those mentioned in this -document, please consider upgrading to the latest Hurd before reporting -the failure as a bug. - -=head1 AUTHOR - -Mark Kettenis <kettenis@gnu.org> - -Last Updated: Fri, 29 Oct 1999 22:50:30 +0200 - |
