hi all,
i've built Perl 5.8.0RC1 on OSX Server 10.1.4 successfully .......
just about everything seems to run fine. modperl2 is installed on a
working Apache2.0.36 as well ....... but not without a minor fix .......
i get a "bus error" when running the following test script:
-------------------- test.pl ----------------
use strict;
use Socket;
my $localhost_addr = pack('C4', 127, 0, 0, 1);
my $default_localhost = gethostbyaddr($localhost_addr,
Socket::AF_INET()) || 'localhost';
print "localhost=$default_localhost\n";
-------------------- test.pl ----------------
>
> [root@server]perl test.pl
> Bus error
here's the stack trace of the crash:

**********
as this error does *not* occur on a virgin OSX 10.1.5 build (i know, a
little apple-n-oranges) something, no doubt, has changed on my system that
is causing gethostbyaddr to choke ......
unfortunately, i haven't been clever enuf to track down the problem .......
any thoughts/suggestions?
many thanks!
