I am trying to compile perl 4.0 on an AT&T 3B2/600G running 
Unix System V 3.2  

I finally go it to compile cleanly after tracking down several
symbols that were multiply defined.
( I think due to incorrect libraries being included) 

But when I run make test It failed about 13 tests.  I don't
quite understand what the problem is because when I run
the test for cmdopt by hand (by saying ./perl cmdopt.t)
it appears to run fine.  All ok's returned.  Anybody have 
a guess as to why they would fail when running from the make file
but pass ok when run by hand?

Is my new executable usable?  I think I got similar errors
(but fewer) when I compiled 3.44 and that seems to work ok.

I am just starting to get hooked on perl -- love those associative
arrays -- and I am waiting anxiously for my copy of the camel book.

Thanks
Kevin Meek
