Building Perl5.005_03
Perl 5.005_03 builds cleanly with OSR 5.0.5 cc. Make sure you have installed rs505a, oss497a, and oss499a.
I have found you need ftp://ftp.zenez.com/pub/zenez/perl5/h2ph.PL. This file needs to be placed in the utils directory instead of the one there. Then do a perl h2ph.PL and copy the file to /usr/local/bin.


I have found that this patch to Config.pm in
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00503/i386-sco/Config.pm
will allow a person to build perl with SCO cc and then use gcc to build all the other modules. This is needed for MySQL. The SCO cc will not work with MySQL. The patch is at ftp://ftp.zenez.com/pub/zenez/perl5/Config.pm.patch .


To build Perl5.005_03 on UnixWare 7.1.0 you will need these files ftp://ftp.zenez.com/pub/zenez/perl5/Configure.patch-perl5.005_03 and ftp://ftp.zenez.com/pub/zenez/perl5/svr5.sh. You need to put the svr5.sh file in the hints directory and run patch on Configure.

I found this news comment on the exct problem I am attempting to solve. However, the link to the patch is invalid
ftp://ftp.zenez.com/pub/zenez/perl5/h2ph.PL
Where else can I obtain this information?
Please note temporarily ftp.zenez.com is down. I have had some financial problems. The important files are now on...
