If configure thinks it won't (like for most of what you mentioned here), it'll be disabled. If it misses a significant test (I'm still not sure how many people would have your ld options issue), it should be analyzed and added. Your ld options issue may potentially happen on *any* OS, so disabling embedded perl for Solaris is not an appropriate solution, IMHO.

I call for a vote > to revert back to no Perl support by default. "no Perl" meaning no embedded perl *and* no perl modules by default? I disagree for both. +Thomas -- Thomas Anders (thomas.anders at blue-cable.de) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
