Re: installing perl 5.8.6 under z/OS 1.4

[John Goodyear]

Mariusz,
I don't have the Perl source right now so I can't work through the issue all of the way, but the definition for struct timeval should picked up in /usr/include/sys/time.h.   If that file is included in util.c, then I suspect that there was a configuration problem.

If you look at the Z/OS runtime library documentation for things like select() or gettimeofday() they should that you have to define _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED or a few other feature test macros.   Without them, the pre-processor will skip over the structure defs.
