Just before HP took over Compaq, some systems were renamed. Visit

the changes are, or will be.
HP 9000 A-Class servers, now renamed HP Server rp2400 series.

HP 9000 L-Class servers, now renamed HP Server rp5400 series.

1. Compile source modules with +z or +Z flag to create a .o module
which contains Position-Independent Code (PIC). The linker will
tell you in the next step if +Z was needed.

2. Link the shared library using the -b flag. If the code calls
any functions in other system libraries (e.g., libm), it must

Should a user wish to experiment with compiling Perl in the LP64
environment, use the -Duse64bitall flag to Configure. This will force
Perl to be compiled in a pure LP64 environment (via the +DD64 flag).

+you want to compile Perl using gcc, you will have to get a version of

You can also use the -Duse64bitint flag to Configure. Although there
are some minor differences between compiling Perl with this flag versus
configuration that cannot be compiled, or that does not function as
expected.

-compiler. If you want to compile Perl using gcc, you will have to get a
