   ... but I ran into a serious bug in the HP9000 C-compiler on HP9000/320
   running HP-UX 5.3 when I tried to get perl 2.0 running.

Note that 5.3 is not even close to the current release.  HP-UX 6.2 is
out the door, or on its way out the door, or something.  5.3 was
released in the spring of 1987, I think.

We've done a *lot* of work on the compilers since then.  People inside
HP seem to have had no problem compiling Perl 2.0.  Most of us are on
6.0 or 6.2.
