I just compiled perl5.004 using the port makefile. I am attempting to set up perl to use IPC so I can take advantage of semaphores. Perl compiled wonderfully but when I attempt to use a semaphore, I get back from perl: System V IPC is not implemented on this machine at ./semexample line 7. Ok... I figured i needed to enable sys V ipc type stuff in the kernel (as mentioned by the FAQ and handbook) so I re config'ed the kernel and still no dice... I have placed the kernel options to make this work and reinstalled the new kernel but I still get the same error mesg. I am simply not sure if I have a perl misconfiguration or a freebsd problem. I am sort of leaning towards a perl problem but I need to make sure that freebsd is configured right first. If anyone has experience with this (on the freebsd side or on the perl side, either way) please let me know. I have been pouring through the faqs for both perl and freebsd not to mention search engines and dejanews trying to find an answer to this. If it is a perl problem, how can I make sure IPC gets recognized and installed with perl? Thanks for your help. Mike Grommet System Admin Internet Solutions, Inc.
