Subject: Perl dies on test op.undef under AIX-PS/2 1.2

I've compiled perl 3.0 PL18 under AIX-PS/2 version 1.2, and it passes
every test except for op.undef, which generates the following message:

Illegal item (LEXPR) as lvalue in file ./op.undef at line 39, next 2 tokens ") ?"
Illegal item (LEXPR) as lvalue in file ./op.undef at line 40, next 2 tokens ") ?"
Illegal item (LEXPR) as lvalue in file ./op.undef at line 41, next 2 tokens "@ary;"
Illegal item (LEXPR) as lvalue in file ./op.undef at line 42, next 2 tokens ") ?"
Illegal item (LEXPR) as lvalue in file ./op.undef at line 43, next 2 tokens "%ary;"
Illegal item (LEXPR) as lvalue in file ./op.undef at line 44, next 2 tokens ") ?"
Illegal item (LEXPR) as lvalue in file ./op.undef at line 46, next 2 tokens "@ary ?"
Illegal item (LEXPR) as lvalue in file ./op.undef at line 48, next 2 tokens "%ary ?"
Execution aborted due to compilation errors.

Does anyone have any suggestions for fixing this?  Has anyone brought it
up successfully under aix 1.2?
