PERLHAIKU(1) Perl Programmers Reference Guide PERLHAIKU(1)

perlhaiku - Perl version 5.10+ on Haiku

This file contains instructions how to build Perl for Haiku and lists known problems.

The build procedure is completely standard:

  ./Configure -de
  make
  make install

Make perl executable and create a symlink for libperl:

  chmod a+x /boot/common/bin/perl
  cd /boot/common/lib; ln -s perl5/5.34.1/BePC-haiku/CORE/libperl.so .

Replace 5.34.1 with your respective version of Perl.

The following problems are encountered with Haiku revision 28311:
  • Perl cannot be compiled with threading support ATM.
  • The cpan/Socket/t/socketpair.t test fails. More precisely: the subtests using datagram sockets fail. Unix datagram sockets aren't implemented in Haiku yet.
  • A subtest of the cpan/Sys-Syslog/t/syslog.t test fails. This is due to Haiku not implementing /dev/log support yet.
  • The tests dist/Net-Ping/t/450_service.t and dist/Net-Ping/t/510_ping_udp.t fail. This is due to bugs in Haiku's network stack implementation.

For Haiku specific problems contact the HaikuPorts developers: <http://ports.haiku-files.org/>

The initial Haiku port was done by Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>.
