I've had a look at perl 5.6.1 and perl 5.7.0@9848 today. None of both
may be successfully compiled and tested for a Solaris 8 sparc v9
system.
Perl 5.6.1 seems to come with the same socket probs as perl 5.7.0
did, when I started to do my fixed last year. The 'close' call closes
wrong sockets even if perlio is selected. This is caused by the socket
i/o methods, which are different for the GNU cc and the Sun Forte cc.
Perl 5.7.0 even does not successfully pass the testsuite on a
Solaris 2.6/gcc system. The testsuite reports 14 failures:
op/arith..............FAILED at test 5
op/exp................FAILED at test 2
op/lex_assign.........FAILED at test 29
op/pack...............FAILED at test 10 Cannot compress negative numbers at op/pack.t line 62.
op/rand...............FAILED at test 1
op/sprintf............FAILED at test 21
op/taint..............FAILED at test 30
pragma/constant.......FAILED at test 2
pragma/overload.......FAILED at test 117
lib/complex...........FAILED at test 13
lib/io_sock...........FAILED at test 10
lib/selfstubber.......FAILED at test 5 Can't locate SelfLoader.pm in @INC ...
lib/trig..............FAILED at test 2
lib/xs-typemap........FAILED at test 39
Hmmm ....
I'm wondering, that our final solution for the SOCKS5 problem
has disappeared from the sources:
- Remove all patches concerning my SOCKS5 workaround from the
perl sources.
- Force users, who select -Dusesocks to select -Duseperlio, too.
This was (at least) part of the version 5.7.0@7972. Why did you reverse it?
