JP, from another JP,

It was a struggle, but I finally got perl 4.003 to work.
At first, I was failing 14 tests.

I had heard that the shared libraries in SCO 3.2.2 had bugs.
So that was the main trick, taking libc_s OUT of the searched libraries.

Then a problem developed with crypt. I have installed the SLS upgrade 255b.
I added to the (objs) for both perl and tperl the file /usr/lib/libcrypt_d.a.

I just jumped up and poured myself an extra cocktail after I ran 'make test'
and saw no errors!
