NAME
     README.haiku - Perl version 5.10+ on Haiku

DESCRIPTION
     This file contains instructions how to build Perl for Haiku
     and lists known problems.

BUILD AND INSTALL
     The build procedure is completely standard:

       ./Configure -de
       make
       make install

     Make perl executable and create a symlink for libperl:

       chmod a+x /boot/common/bin/perl
       cd /boot/common/lib; ln -s perl5/5.12.5/BePC-haiku/CORE/libperl.so .

     Replace 5.12.5 with your respective version of Perl.

KNOWN PROBLEMS
     The following problems are encountered with Haiku revision
     28311:

     o   Perl cannot be compiled with threading support ATM.

     o   The "ext/Socket/t/socketpair.t" test fails. More
         precisely: the subtests using datagram sockets fail.
         Unix datagram sockets aren't implemented in Haiku yet.

     o   A subtest of the "ext/Sys/Syslog/t/syslog.t" test fails.
         This is due to Haiku not implementing "/dev/log" support
         yet.

     o   The tests "lib/Net/Ping/t/450_service.t" and
         "lib/Net/Ping/t/510_ping_udp.t" fail. This is due to
         bugs in Haiku's network stack implementation.

CONTACT
     For Haiku specific problems contact the HaikuPorts
     developers: http://ports.haiku-files.org/

     The initial Haiku port was done by Ingo Weinhold
     <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>.
