| 4 | It is written in the POD format (see pod/perlpod.pod) which is specially | |

| 11 | =head1 DESCRIPTION | |
| 12 | ||
| 13 | This file contains instructions how to build Perl for Haiku and lists | |
| 14 | known problems. | |
| 15 | ||
| 16 | =head1 BUILD AND INSTALL | |
| 17 | ||
| 18 | The build procedure is completely standard: | |
| 19 | ||
| 20 | ./Configure -de | |
| 21 | make | |
| 22 | make install | |
| 23 | ||
| 24 | Make perl executable and create a symlink for libperl: | |
| 25 | ||
| 26 | chmod a+x /boot/common/bin/perl | |
| 0036fddf | 27 | cd /boot/common/lib; ln -s perl5/5.37.9/BePC-haiku/CORE/libperl.so . |
| df00ff3b | 28 | |
| 0036fddf | 29 | Replace C<5.37.9> with your respective version of Perl. |

| 31 | =head1 KNOWN PROBLEMS | |
| 32 | ||
| 33 | The following problems are encountered with Haiku revision 28311: | |

| 37 | =item * | |
| 38 | ||
| 39 | Perl cannot be compiled with threading support ATM. | |
| 40 | ||
| 41 | =item * | |
| 42 | ||
| cb0ee57a | 43 | The F<cpan/Socket/t/socketpair.t> test fails. More precisely: the subtests |
| df00ff3b IW |
44 | using datagram sockets fail. Unix datagram sockets aren't implemented in |
| 45 | Haiku yet. | |
| 46 | ||
| 47 | =item * | |
| 48 | ||
| cb0ee57a | 49 | A subtest of the F<cpan/Sys-Syslog/t/syslog.t> test fails. This is due to Haiku |
| f703fc96 | 50 | not implementing F</dev/log> support yet. |
| df00ff3b IW |
51 | |
| 52 | =item * | |
| 53 | ||
| cb0ee57a | 54 | The tests F<dist/Net-Ping/t/450_service.t> and F<dist/Net-Ping/t/510_ping_udp.t> |
| df00ff3b IW |
55 | fail. This is due to bugs in Haiku's network stack implementation. |
