The enclosed patch adds a new file to ext/re/hints/aix.pl and mentions
it in MANIFEST. The previous hack introduced into ext/re/Makefile.PL is
moved into the new hints file. The ccversion checking has been
generalized a bit and passes 100% tests on the mentioned, older versions
of the vendor supplied cc (aka x.l.c.), namely '3.6.6.0', '3.6.4.0',
and '3.1.3.3'. I cannot test on other versions at this time
unfortunately.
Files:
MANIFEST # added mention of new file
ext/re/Makefile.PL # remove aix code
ext/re/hints/aix.pl # take and generalize code previously in Makefile.PL
Here is the patch:
