I am having a great deal of trouble getting perl 4.0 to compile correctly on
my SV2.3 system (no...upgrading is , unfortunately, not an option).  The
problem is in the directory I/O routines.  

The Configure program runs fine and I only have to edit the cflags for eval.c
in order to compile on my system but when it runs then any directory operations
(readdir(), opendir(), etc) give me a "Unimplemented directory operation". 
This is located in doio.c line 2218.

I have PD directory routines (from Nutshell's Using C on the UNIX System) that
I can link into the program, but what else will have to be changed?  

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Mark.
