Hello,
I have just completed the build of perl 5.6.1 on AIX 4.3.3 ML 0 and here
are the results of the make test
Making Errno (nonxs)
cd t && (rm -f perl; /usr/bin/ln -s ../perl perl)
if (true </dev/tty) >/dev/null 2>&1; then cd t && ./perl TEST
</dev/tty; else cd t && PERL_SKIP_TTY_TEST=1 ./perl TEST; fi
[snipped - Very long list of what passed]
All tests successful.

Here is the results of myconfig:

The first time I compiled and ran all of the test I received the same
kind of problems that you ran into.
I then ran a make distclean then a configure but this time I used the
malloc that comes with perl ( on AIX the
default is no) once I did this the make test runs without error ( see
above). I also used the compiler from IBM.
I hope this helps.

Yes it does.
What compiler (xlc or vac)? What version?

Hi,
I have installed the xlc version that comes with VisualAge C++
Professional 4.0.2 from the cd it is 3.6.6. I have not applied any
patches to this ( if there are any). If there is anything else you need
just let me know.

A professional consultant here in Sweden usually charges between (in
USD) 60 - 150 per hour.
But we also pay more tax in Sweden.
You probably should start asking them what they think is a fair price
for such a small job. Do not be afraid to propose a high price.
A good samuraj knows what he is worth.

At a general level, that's not complicated. However if you are new to Perl,
as I presume, this is a not so easy script to start with.
I would download some freeware scripts from the web and customize them,
instead of coding from scratch.

It is not just a print() issue. Without printing the string using
C<cmp> will still change the number of bytes.

Message-Id: <tfivl4j3dgf660@corp.supernews.com>
I'm in hot water to get a class project done. Basically I need to be able to
add/delete/query a MS Access 2000 database with perl. I told them not to use
Access, but they wouldn't listen and now there's no other choice.
The extent of my perl/cgi knowledge is only manipulating HTML forms (ie.
emailing the data somewhere, or making "mad-libs" out of the form fields). I
have no clue how to access a database, let alone an MS Access *.mdb one. I
would most grateful if someone had some pointers for me. Even some sample
code would be a life-saver.
Many thanks in advance. This is perl running on Windows, for the record. I'm
using the sambar web server and it's executing perl scripts just fine.

Never used this combination so I can't say more.
