Right now I'm running Perl patch level 28 gcc-compiled, except for that ome function which is ifdef'd out and compiled separately via cc. I'll try to find out more, but due to the work I'm supposed to be doing instead, it may take some time. -- Matthias Urlichs -- urlichs@smurf.sub.org -- urlichs@smurf.ira.uka.de Humboldtstrasse 7 - 7500 Karlsruhe 1 - FRG -- +49+721+621127(Voice)/621227(PEP)
