generated with the help of perlbug 1.26 running under perl 5.00503.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
Hi,

I am having problems building perl 5.6.0 with my current environment.

sh Configure -Dprefix=/sw/pkgs/perl-5.6.0 -Dcc=gcc -des

on a vanilla downloaded distribution yields an error:


.............
What extensions do you wish to load statically? [none]  
Stripping down executable paths...
Creating config.sh...
Configure: syntax error at line 590: `do' unexpected

Any help is appreciated... I will be more than willing to send more info

Thanks very much

Lukas Karrer
