[grand-rapids-pm-list] Perl 5.005_03 64-bit Compile

[Sroka, Scot]

Hello!

 

I need to compile a 64-bit perl 5.005_03 on HP-UX 11.11, PA-RISC 2.0.
Seems that perl versions following 5.005_03 have severe performance
problems with certain types of regular expressions. (See
http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=24936) My company has
tripped upon this issue and most of our scripts run at least twice as
long. I have a 32-bit version of 5.005_03, but need a 64-bit version
because the scripts are also hitting memory limits. I followed the
README.hpux file with no luck and even tried using the compile options
from the 64-bit 5.8.3 provided by HP (which in turn is provided by
ActiveState). Things go along just fine for a while during the make
until I get the following error:

 

    cc  -L/lib/pa20_64 -o miniperl miniperlmain.o libperl.a -lcres -lnsl
-lnm -ldl -ldld -lm -lsec -lc 

/usr/ccs/bin/ld: miniperlmain.o: Mismatched ABI. 64-bit PA object file
found in 32-bit link.

*** Error exit code 1

 

Stop.

 

 

At this point I'm pretty lost. I know how to spell "make", and that's
about it. Has anybody successfully compiled a 64-bit 5.005_03? Any
recommendations?

 

Thanks for your help.
