-If you are running VOS Release 14.4.1 or later, you can obtain a
-pre-compiled, supported copy of perl by purchasing Release 2.0.1
-of the VOS GNU C++ and GNU Tools product from Stratus
-Technologies.

-=head2 Multiple methods to build perl for VOS
-
-If you elect to build perl from its source code, you have several
-different ways that you can build perl. The method that you use
-depends on the version of VOS that you are using and on the
-architecture of you Stratus hardware platform.

-
-If you have a Stratus XA2000 (Motorola 68k-based) platform, you
-must build perl using the alpha version of VOS POSIX support and
-using the VOS Standard C Cross-compiler. You must build perl on
-VOS Release 14.1.0 (or later) on an XA/R or Continuum platform.
-
-This version of perl is properly called "miniperl" because it
-does not contain the full perl functionality.
-
-You must build perl with the compile_perl.cm command macro found
-in the vos subdirectory.

-If you have a Stratus XA/R (Intel i860-based) platform, you must
-build perl using the alpha version of VOS POSIX support and using
-the VOS Standard C compiler or cross-compiler. You must build
-perl on VOS Release 14.1.0 (or later) on an XA/R or Continuum
-platform.

-If you have a Stratus Continuum (PARISC-based) platform that is
-running a version of VOS earlier than VOS 14.3.0, you must build
-perl using the alpha version of VOS POSIX support and using the
-VOS Standard C compiler or cross-compiler. You must build perl
-on VOS Release 14.1.0 (or later) on an XA/R or Continuum
-platform.

-
-If you have a Stratus Continuum (PARISC-based) platform that is
-running VOS Release 14.3.0 through VOS Release 14.4.0, you must
-build perl using the generally-available version of VOS POSIX
-support, and using either the VOS Standard C compiler or the VOS
-GNU C compiler. You must build perl on VOS Release 14.3.0 (or
-later) on a Continuum platform.

-If you have a Stratus Continuum (PA-RISC-based) platform that is
-running VOS Release 14.4.1 or later, you must build perl using
-the generally-available version of VOS POSIX support. You must
-use the VOS GNU C compiler and the VOS GNU Tools product. You
-must build perl on VOS Release 14.4.1 (or later) on a Continuum
-platform.

-You must use the supplied Configure script and makefiles to build
-perl.

-=head2 Stratus POSIX Support
-
-Note that there are two different implementations of POSIX.1
-support on VOS. There is an alpha version of POSIX that is
-available from the Stratus anonymous ftp site
-(ftp://ftp.stratus.com/pub/vos/posix/alpha/alpha.html). There
-is a generally-available version of POSIX that comes with VOS
-Release 14.3.0 or higher. This port of POSIX will compile and
-bind with either version of POSIX.
-
-Most of the Perl features should work on VOS regardless of which
-version of POSIX that you are using. However, the alpha version
-of POSIX is missing a number of key functions, and therefore any
-attempt by perl.pm to call the following unimplemented POSIX
-functions will result in an error message and an immediate and
-fatal call to the VOS debugger. They are "dup", "fork", and
-"waitpid". The lack of these functions prevents you from
-starting VOS commands and grabbing their output in perl. The
-workaround is to run the commands outside of perl, then have perl
-process the output file. These functions are all available in
-the generally-available version of POSIX.
