-=head1 NAME
-
-perlopenbsd - Perl version 5 on OpenBSD systems
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-This document describes various features of OpenBSD that will affect how Perl
-version 5 (hereafter just Perl) is compiled and/or runs.
-
-=head2 OpenBSD core dumps from getprotobyname_r and getservbyname_r with ithreads
-
-When Perl is configured to use ithreads, it will use re-entrant library calls
-in preference to non-re-entrant versions. There is an incompatibility in
-OpenBSD's C<getprotobyname_r> and C<getservbyname_r> function in versions 3.7
-and later that will cause a SEGV when called without doing a C<bzero> on
-their return structs prior to calling these functions. Current Perl's
-should handle this problem correctly. Older threaded Perls (5.8.6 or earlier)
-will run into this problem. If you want to run a threaded Perl on OpenBSD
-3.7 or higher, you will need to upgrade to at least Perl 5.8.7.
