Hello,

I have been unable to install your language on an Aix server. The version I have
was downloaded from Internet: v5.001 'patched' up to level n. The file was on
ftp.metronet.com, dir /pub/perl/source, filename perl5.001n.tar.gz

I hope you can help me. More information follows:

This is the error displayed by make: (Lines starting with a parenthesis "("
are output added by me, while trying to debug and locate the error)

This is the output from myconfig:

This is the part of the source code that gives the error. Dunno why :-)

I would be very grateful if you could help me, or give me some
light or any ideas on how to solve the problem.

Thank you very much in advance, and congratulations for your product.
