problem of using h2ph under solaris

wqhhust has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am trying to use syscall inside perl, so I should first use h2ph to create the syscall.hp. But there is no file syscall.h under /usr/include/*/* on opensolaris, so syscall.hp can't be created. Where can I get the syscall.h. If there is no such thing, how could I use syscall inside perl on solaris?

But there is no file syscall.h under /usr/include//* on opensolaris...* AFAIK, there should be a `/usr/include/sys/syscall.h` (unless they've moved it recently — just checked on a somewhat older version). If all else fails, you might want to get it directly from the source tree: `/usr/src/uts/common/sys/syscall.h`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

No knowledge of Solaris, but what are you trying to do with syscall? More specifics might help us help you.	[reply]

How would you use syscall on opensolaris if you were writing a simple program in C?	[reply]
