Here's some info from config.log: uname -m = 9000/782 uname -r = B.11.00 uname -s = HP-UX uname -v = A configure:2929: checking host system type configure:2944: result: hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.00 > I believe it is quite likely that you will not need to > build perl yourself at all. I'm building perl from source because autoconf says it wants perl 5.00503 and I've got 5.00502. I'm also building perl from source to deal with compiling some of my own modules that have C code. I originally set things up this way to handle problems on solaris where the compiler used to build perl was no longer available so compiling some modules failed. I tried the PerlGcc module but didn't have any luck. -DB _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
