Hi everyone,

I am newbie into Perl. I am trying to port Perl onto my machine which runs NetBSD OS. The procedure i am following is...

Firstly, took a Perl package which suits my OS version and placed under my 3rd party tools directory.

Then, looking forward to compile particular directory where Perl resides for any compatible issues. To do this, the Perl pkg has to be added into compilation environment by changing Makefile(.mk file) of 3rd party tools directory. Can anyone help me with what basis one has to change the makefile in order to compile Perl?

I also want to know how does one can make use of "Makefile.SH" file in Perl directory to one's requirement. The requirements like compilation, building etc.,

It is helpful if you refer any docs/links related to Perl porting.

I am glad if you could suggest me on right path.

Thanks in Advance,

SEric
