Description sgiesecke 2000-10-06 13:15:09 UTC

When trying to compile any perl script, I get the following output as I run
perlcc:

In this case test.pl contained only one line:
exit

RPM version is perl-5.6.0-9

Comment 1 Crutcher Dunnavant 2001-04-19 19:15:10 UTC

right. first, perlcc is very experimental, so this is low priority.

but, perl 5.6.1 doesnt have this problem.
try the perl rpms available at:

http://people.redhat.com/crutcher/perl/

please note that these are not supported, and we cannot move to these untill we
are ready to go to red hat 8.0 (because of binarry compatability problems).
