| 5 | * Known Problems | |
| 6 | ||
| 7 | There are several problems with Perl on the Hurd. Most of them are | |
| 8 | related to bugs in the OS, some might be actual bugs in Perl. | |
| 9 | ||
| 10 | The database code has problems that make Perl crash. When running the | |
| 11 | test-suite one of the tests will crash. Note that on the Hurd when a | |
| 12 | program crashes, the crash server suspends the program. Continuing | |
| 13 | the program will cause it to exit. | |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | The socket tests may fail if the network is not configured. You have | |
| 16 | to make `/hurd/pfinet' the translator for `/servers/socket/2', giving | |
| 17 | it the right arguments. Try `/hurd/pfinet --help' for more | |
| 18 | information. It seems that it is currently not possible to do this | |
| 19 | right when you do not have a supported network device. Therefore all | |
| 20 | tests that use INET sockets fail on my system, suggesting that the | |
| 21 | `localhost' address may not be defined. | |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | Here are the statistics for Perl 5.005_03 on my system: | |
