 `We just got Perl 3.0 from c.s.u.  Making it on our HP 9000/370 running
 `HP-UX 6.5 with the optimizer caused the compiler to hang on these files:
 `eval.c (&& teval.c), toke.c (&& ttoke.c), x2p/walk.c.  These files had
 `to be manually compiled without the optimizer (we told Configure to use
 `-O).
 `
I can't remember exactly, but in my Makefile I have +O1 rather than -O. I
think it was because -O didn't work. I have also used gcc with -O, but that
seemed to generate slower code!!.
