1.03. If this doesn't do it, perhaps Tie::VecArray should have a PREREQ_PM
with an adequate version number for Filter::cpp in it? I do note the date on
Filter::cpp 1.03's manpage as being in 1995...

cppstdin
In other words:
perl -V:cppstdin
cppstdin='cppstdin';
perl -V:cppminus
cppminus='';
A cpp does exist on IRIX, although it is not something I would advise using;
acpp (ANSI C preprocessor) is better, but may go away - cc -E is
preferable.

Old, perhaps, but it's actually a stock 5.8.0 with all mods necessary to get
it to run properly on IRIX:
Locally applied patches:
DEVEL17807
DEVEL17848
DEVEL17874
DEVEL17875
DEVEL17881
I wrote all but one of the patches in question, and find it unlikely that
they would have anything to do with it - they're to do with one or more of
IRIX hints files or IRIX number handling or cleaning up temp files after
ext/SDBM_File/sdbm.t tests.
Thanks,
