I no more have access to zSeries, but yes, it was awfully slow. Basically it seemed (though I have no actual data, only vague memories, to back this one up) that opening files (either creating new ones or reading existing ones) seemed to be the killer. Someone with the necessary z/OS internals/debugging voodoo skills could probably try profiling or somesuch to find out at least the cause (the cure may be harder to come by). > When we build Perl 5.8.x on z/OS 1.2 through 1.5, it passes most of the test > suite and appears to run scripts, however, we are not able to use TCPIP > sockets (they hang).

If there's a decent source code debugger available in z/OS it shouldn't be too hard to figure out what is going on. > Thanks, Any updates/corrections/tricks/hints on the README.os390 would be welcomed by [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -- Jarkko Hietaniemi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.iki.fi/jhi/ "There is this special biologist word we use for 'stable'.
