NAME
README.hurd - Perl version 5 on Hurd
DESCRIPTION
If you want to use Perl on the Hurd, I recommend using the Debian GNU/Hurd distri-
bution ( see http://www.debian.org/ ), even if an official, stable release has not
yet been made. The old ‘gnu-0.2’ binary distribution will most certainly have
additional problems.
Known Problems with Perl on Hurd
The Perl test suite may still report some errors on the Hurd. The ‘lib/anydbm’ and
‘pragma/warnings’ tests will almost certainly fail. Both failures are not really
specific to the Hurd, as indicated by the test suite output.
The socket tests may fail if the network is not configured. You have to make
‘/hurd/pfinet’ the translator for ‘/servers/socket/2’, giving it the right argu-
ments. Try ‘/hurd/pfinet --help’ for more information.
Here are the statistics for Perl 5.005_62 on my system:
Failed Test Status Wstat Total Fail Failed List of failed
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
lib/anydbm.t 12 1 8.33% 12
pragma/warnings 333 1 0.30% 215
8 tests and 24 subtests skipped.
Failed 2/229 test scripts, 99.13% okay. 2/10850 subtests failed, 99.98% okay.
There are quite a few systems out there that do worse!
However, since I am running a very recent Hurd snapshot, in which a lot of bugs
that were exposed by the Perl test suite have been fixed, you may encounter more
failures. Likely candidates are: ‘op/stat’, ‘lib/io_pipe’, ‘lib/io_sock’,
‘lib/io_udp’ and ‘lib/time’.
In any way, if you’re seeing failures beyond those mentioned in this document,
please consider upgrading to the latest Hurd before reporting the failure as a bug.
