The following patch enables compiling perlmain.c in C++ mode. What is
missing is Configure support, and (maybe?) xsubpp support for
conditional extern "C" on boot_Ext:

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C"
#endif


Enjoy,
Ilya

PS To have C++ capable perl I just edited a line in cflags (with gcc):

perlmain) cc="$cc -x c++";;
