Could you send the output from running the ./myconfig script? It should say what version your glibc is, which is probably more important than the kernel version. I've not had trouble building perl on SuSE 8.2, but I assume that SuSE changed a lot between 7.x and 8.x Can you build perl OK if you don't Configure for threads? Nicholas Clark
