perl 5.6.0 almost working!

-- Start of PGP signed section.

it seems in src/interfaces/Makefile, the perl5/Makefile rule gets the
POLLUTE=1 option as necessary, which makes it work for make all, but
doing a ``make install'' uses the perl5-install, which does not build the
perl5/Makefile with POLLUTE=1.

Well, that is interesting. I am quite confused how Makefile can get
generated without the parameter. Can you suggest a patch?

I believe he meant that line 54 needs to have POLLUTE=1 too ...

Got it. Done. I was confused between plperl and interfaces/perl. I
assume plperl still does not work, right?

Not for me ... but then I'm working on this tool-of-the-devil
HPUX OS ;-) ;-)

Has anyone else tried to use plperl? Either success or failure
reports would be useful at this point.

well this is what the block in src/interfaces/Makefile needs to look like
in the end:
...
perl5/Makefile: perl5/Makefile.PL
cd perl5 && $(PERL) Makefile.PL POLLUTE=1

install-perl5: perl5/Makefile
$(MAKE) -C perl5 clean
cd perl5 && POSTGRES_HOME="$(POSTGRESDIR)" $(PERL) Makefile.PL POLLUTE=1
$(MAKE) -C perl5 all
-@if [ -w `sed -n -e 's/^ *INSTALLSITELIB *= *//p' perl5/Makefile` ]; then \
$(MAKE) $(MFLAGS) -C perl5 install; \
rm -f perl5/Makefile; \
else \
echo "Skipping install of Perl module for lack of permissions."; \
echo "To install it, cd into interfaces/perl5, su to become the"; \
echo "appropriate user, and do '$(MAKE) install'."; \
fi

.PHONY: install-perl5
- ---

note the change from:
cd perl5 && POSTGRES_HOME="$(POSTGRESDIR)" $(PERL) Makefile.PL
to:
cd perl5 && POSTGRES_HOME="$(POSTGRESDIR)" $(PERL) Makefile.PL POLLUTE=1

thanks for you time.

that one seems to have been fixed already for beta4, so it works
wonderfully.

i've build the plperl.so without error, but i have not actually tested it
to see how it works. i'm unfortunately unfamiliar with it at this
point. i just wanted it to build, so i could someday learn it.
i'm using it with glibc 2.1.2, linux 2.2.12, intel pentium.

Failure. (sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1)

Looks like this:
$ make
....
Running Mkbootstrap for plperl ()
chmod 644 plperl.bs
LD_RUN_PATH="" gcc -o blib/arch/auto/plperl/plperl.so -G plperl.o
eloglvl.o SPI.o
/usr/sup/gnu/lib/perl5/sun4-solaris/5.00404/auto/Opcode/Opcode.so
-L../../../src/interfaces/libpq -lpq
/usr/sup/gnu/lib/perl5/sun4-solaris/5.00404/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a
-L/usr/sup/gnu/lib/perl5/sun4-solaris/5.00404/CORE -lperl -lsocket -lnsl
-lgdbm -ldl -lm -lc -lcrypt -ldb
ld: fatal: library -ldb: not found
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to
blib/arch/auto/plperl/plperl.so
make: *** [blib/arch/auto/plperl/plperl.so] Error 1

(There is indeed no libdb of any sort on this system AFAICT. I'm just a
pedestrian though, does anyone know what it is supposed to be for?)

That sure sounds like Perl once again trying to circumvent the autoconf
logic.
