Ok, which build/package you want me to try? I was looking back at my notes, for a frame of reference, and see I tried building 5.8.6 on z/OS in 2005. Checking CPAN/ports I see IBM has an official version of 5.8.7 for z/OS, but there is also a reference to 5.8.1.

This has the excellent bonus feature of telling us how far a build even gets! Can you give building a testing a go, and let us know what you can about resource consumption -- and, of course, let us know how the build goes. Hopefully from there we can start figuring out what lies ahead. -- rjbs
