132 | .TH PERLVMESA 1 "2006-01-07" "perl v5.8.8" "Perl Programmers Reference Guide" | |
133 | .SH "NAME" | |
134 | README.vmesa \- building and installing Perl for VM/ESA. | |
135 | .SH "SYNOPSIS" | |
136 | .IX Header "SYNOPSIS" | |
137 | This document will help you Configure, build, test and install Perl | |
138 | on \s-1VM/ESA\s0. | |
139 | .SH "DESCRIPTION" | |
140 | .IX Header "DESCRIPTION" | |
141 | This is a fully ported perl for \s-1VM/ESA\s0 2.3.0. It may work on | |
142 | other versions, but that's the one we've tested it on. | |
143 | .PP | |
144 | If you've downloaded the binary distribution, it needs to be | |
145 | installed below /usr/local. Source code distributions have an | |
146 | automated \*(L"make install\*(R" step that means you do not need to extract | |
147 | the source code below /usr/local (though that is where it will be | |
148 | installed by default). You may need to worry about the networking | |
149 | configuration files discussed in the last bullet below. | |
150 | .Sh "Unpacking Perl Distribution on \s-1VM/ESA\s0" | |
151 | .IX Subsection "Unpacking Perl Distribution on VM/ESA" | |
152 | To extract an \s-1ASCII\s0 tar archive on \s-1VM/ESA\s0, try this: | |
153 | .PP | |
154 | .Vb 1 | |
155 | \& pax -o to=IBM-1047,from=ISO8859-1 -r < latest.tar | |
156 | .Ve | |
157 | .Sh "Setup Perl and utilities on \s-1VM/ESA\s0" | |
158 | .IX Subsection "Setup Perl and utilities on VM/ESA" | |
159 | \&\s-1GNU\s0 make for \s-1VM/ESA\s0, which may be required for the build of perl, | |
160 | is available from: | |
161 | .PP | |
162 | .Vb 1 | |
163 | \& http://vm.marist.edu/~neale/vmoe.html | |
164 | .Ve | |
165 | .Sh "Configure Perl on \s-1VM/ESA\s0" | |
166 | .IX Subsection "Configure Perl on VM/ESA" | |
167 | Once you've unpacked the distribution, run Configure (see \s-1INSTALL\s0 for | |
168 | full discussion of the Configure options), and then run make, then | |
169 | \&\*(L"make test\*(R" then \*(L"make install\*(R" (this last step may require UID=0 | |
170 | privileges). | |
171 | .PP | |
172 | There is a \*(L"hints\*(R" file for vmesa that specifies the correct values | |
173 | for most things. Some things to watch out for are: | |
174 | .IP "\(bu" 4 | |
175 | this port does support dynamic loading but it's not had much testing | |
176 | .IP "\(bu" 4 | |
177 | Don't turn on the compiler optimization flag \*(L"\-O\*(R". There's | |
178 | a bug in the compiler (\s-1APAR\s0 \s-1PQ18812\s0) that generates some bad code | |
179 | the optimizer is on. | |
180 | .IP "\(bu" 4 | |
181 | As \s-1VM/ESA\s0 doesn't fully support the \fIfork()\fR \s-1API\s0 programs relying on | |
182 | this call will not work. I've replaced \fIfork()\fR/\fIexec()\fR with \fIspawn()\fR | |
183 | and the standalone \fIexec()\fR with \fIspawn()\fR. This has a side effect when | |
184 | opening unnamed pipes in a shell script: there is no child process | |
185 | generated under. | |
186 | .IP "\(bu" 4 | |
187 | At the moment the hints file for \s-1VM/ESA\s0 basically bypasses all of the | |
188 | automatic configuration process. This is because Configure relies on: | |
189 | 1. The header files living in the Byte File System (you could put the | |
190 | there if you want); 2. The C preprocessor including the #include | |
191 | statements in the preprocessor output (.i) file. | |
192 | .Sh "Testing Anomalies of Perl on \s-1VM/ESA\s0" | |
193 | .IX Subsection "Testing Anomalies of Perl on VM/ESA" | |
194 | The \*(L"make test\*(R" step runs a Perl Verification Procedure, usually before | |
195 | installation. As the 5.6.1 kit was being assembled | |
196 | the following \*(L"failures\*(R" were known to appear on some machines | |
197 | during \*(L"make test\*(R" (mostly due to \s-1ASCII\s0 vs. \s-1EBCDIC\s0 conflicts), | |
198 | your results may differ: | |

202 | .IX Subsection "Usage Hints for Perl on VM/ESA" | |
203 | When using perl on \s-1VM/ESA\s0 please keep in mind that the \s-1EBCDIC\s0 and \s-1ASCII\s0 | |
204 | character sets are different. Perl builtin functions that may behave | |
205 | differently under \s-1EBCDIC\s0 are mentioned in the perlport.pod document. | |

207 | OpenEdition (\s-1UNIX\s0 System Services) does not (yet) support the #! means | |
208 | of script invocation. | |
