Did you configure with -Dusethreads? Did all tests succeed? Without -Dusethreads. We do not have pthreads on the Hurd yet. But it seems that cthreads support for Perl is being worked on. Some references to it are present in the latest development version (5.005.53). Quite a few tests did not succeed. I haven't had the time to look into all failures, but a lot of those failures are related to features that are not implemented on the Hurd. But since GNU libc implements these functions as stubs, the configure script thinks these functions are supported and runs the appropriate tests, which of course fails. However, all basic stuff seems to work just fine, and the resulting Perl is definitely usable. Mark
