Re: Regex problem building perl on IBM AIX

I've successfully built Perl 5.14.0 on AIX (I haven't tried 5.14.1 yet). However, I recall having issues (not that I recall which ones) when compiling in 32-bit mode. For some reason, 64-bit mode worked better. Also, to get some other modules compiling properly, I remember that I had to modify Config.pm (or Config_heavy.pl or something) afterwards to add whatever was required to get the AIX compiler to treat // as comments.

Have you tried 64-bit? Is there a reason you want a 32-bit perl?

Thanks for the response. I am working on an SDK for the perl which is supported on both AIX 32 and 64 bit platforms. So yes, I need to have 32 bit perl build on AIX. I would appreciate if you can provide any information or help on the issues you faced and fixed. Thanks,	[reply]
