Are there any tricks to building Larry Wall's perl under Irix (3.2.2) ??? 
After running Configure and then a "make", "make test" fails in 2 places:

1) op.eval dumps core after 6 iterations eg.

ianh@morgana-> op.eval
1..10
ok 1
ok 2
ok 3
ok 4
ok 5
ok 6
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

2) op.s runs out of memory after 39 iterations

ok 33
ok 34
ok 35
ok 36
ok 37
ok 38
ok 39
Out of memory!


Any clues would be much appreciated
