NAME
     perldgux - Perl under DG/UX.

SYNOPSIS
     One can read this document in the following formats:

             man perldgux
             view perl perldgux
             explorer perldgux.html
             info perldgux

     to list some (not all may be available simultaneously), or
     it may be read as is: as README.dgux.

DESCRIPTION
     Perl 5.7/8.x for DG/UX ix86 R4.20MU0x

BUILDING PERL ON DG/UX
  Non-threaded Perl on DG/UX
     Just run ./Configure script from the top directory.  Then
     give "make" to compile.

  Threaded Perl on DG/UX
     If you are using as compiler GCC-2.95.x rev(DG/UX) an easy
     solution for configuring perl in your DG/UX machine is to
     run the command:

     ./Configure -Dusethreads -Duseithreads -Dusedevel -des

     This will automatically accept all the defaults and in
     particular /usr/local/ as installation directory.  Note that
     GCC-2.95.x rev(DG/UX) knows the switch -pthread which allows
     it to link correctly DG/UX's -lthread library.

     If you want to change the installation directory or have a
     standard DG/UX with C compiler GCC-2.7.2.x then you have no
     choice than to do an interactive build by issuing the
     command:

     ./Configure -Dusethreads -Duseithreads

     In particular with GCC-2.7.2.x accept all the defaults and
     *watch* out for the message:

         Any additional ld flags (NOT including libraries)? [ -pthread]

     Instead of -pthread put here -lthread. CGCC-2.7.2.x that
     comes with the DG/UX OS does NOT know the -pthread switch.
     So your build will fail if you choose the defaults.  After
     configuration is done correctly give "make" to compile.

  Testing Perl on DG/UX
     Issuing a "make test" will run all the tests.  If the test
     lib/ftmp-security gives you as a result something like

         lib/ftmp-security....File::Temp::_gettemp:
         Parent directory (/tmp/) is not safe (sticky bit not set
         when world writable?) at lib/ftmp-security.t line 100

     don't panic and just set the sticky bit in your /tmp
     directory by doing the following as root:

     cd / chmod +t /tmp (=set the sticky bit to /tmp).

     Then rerun the tests. This time all must be OK.

  Installing the built perl on DG/UX
     Run the command "make install"
