When building with Ultrix, you will need to make a few *tweeks* to get perl
to work properly.

1) When compiling, be sure to only use -g (can't use -O) unless the version
   of your compiler is 2.10 or greater (which it probably isn't).

2) Edit the config.sh script so that d_volatile is 'undef', as the compiler
   does not use the keyword properly (yet).

3) You may need to tweek d_voidsig (I don't remember if it guesses this
   properly.

If after trying this it still isn't working, let me know exactly what the
issue(s) are and I will point you in the proper direction.
