I passed along Bruce's suggestion that older, buggy printf()'s would output a "0" instead of a "0." and that perl was relying on this behaviour. The extension module sources are generated by the Makefile and I couldn't find a way to patch the distribution so that it correctly produced source with integer subscripts. > If we don't try to get patches back to authors the next version can > even be harder to get working :-(. I kept the log of my Configure run because I ran across a bunch of "WHOA THERE!!!" warnings. They don't appear to fatal. Are these a result of something missing in FreeBSD's/gcc's libraries, or just something perl's Configure script hasn't been taught to handle? >>>>> NOT found. dlopen() NOT found. *** WHOA THERE!!! *** The recommended value for $d_dlopen on this machine was "define"!
