-=head2 Multiple methods to build perl for VOS
+=head1 BUILDING PERL FOR VOS
-If you elect to build perl from its source code, you have several
-different ways that you can build perl. The method that you use
-depends on the version of VOS that you are using and on the
-architecture of you Stratus hardware platform.
-
-=over 5
-
-=item 1
-
-If you have a Stratus XA2000 (Motorola 68k-based) platform, you
-must build perl using the alpha version of VOS POSIX support and
-using the VOS Standard C Cross-compiler. You must build perl on
-VOS Release 14.1.0 (or later) on an XA/R or Continuum platform.
-
-This version of perl is properly called "miniperl" because it
-does not contain the complete perl functionality.
-
-You must build perl with the compile_perl.cm command macro found
-in the vos subdirectory.
-
-=item 2
-
-If you have a Stratus XA/R (Intel i860-based) platform, you must
-build perl using the alpha version of VOS POSIX support and using
-the VOS Standard C compiler or cross-compiler. You must build
-perl on VOS Release 14.1.0 (or later) on an XA/R or Continuum
-platform.
-
-This version of perl is properly called "miniperl" because it
-does not contain the complete perl functionality.
-
-You must build perl with the compile_perl.cm command macro found
-in the vos subdirectory.
-
-=item 3
-
-If you have a Stratus Continuum (PARISC-based) platform that is
-running a version of VOS earlier than VOS 14.3.0, you must build
-perl using the alpha version of VOS POSIX support and using the
-VOS Standard C compiler or cross-compiler. You must build perl
-on VOS Release 14.1.0 (or later) on an XA/R or Continuum
-platform.
-
-This version of perl is properly called "miniperl" because it
-does not contain the complete perl functionality.
-
-You must build perl with the compile_perl.cm command macro found
-in the vos subdirectory.
-
-=item 4
-
-If you have a Stratus Continuum (PARISC-based) platform that is
-running VOS Release 14.3.0 through VOS Release 14.4.1, you must
-build perl using the generally-available version of VOS POSIX
-support, and using either the VOS Standard C compiler or the VOS
-GNU C compiler. You must build perl on VOS Release 14.3.0 (or
-later) on a Continuum platform.
-
-This version of perl is properly called "miniperl" because it

-=item 5
-
-If you have a Stratus Continuum (PA-RISC-based) platform that is
-running VOS Release 14.5.0 or later, you can either use the
-previous method to build "miniperl" or you can build "full
-perl", which contains the complete functionality of perl. I
-strongly recommend that you build full perl. To build full
-perl, you must use the generally-available version of VOS POSIX
-support. You must use the VOS GNU C compiler and the VOS GNU
-C/C++ and GNU Tools Release 2.0.1 product. You must build full
-perl on VOS Release 14.5.0 (or later) on a Continuum platform.
-
-You must build full perl with the compile_full_perl.cm command
-macro found in the vos subdirectory.
-
-=back
-
-=head2 Stratus POSIX Support
-
-Note that there are two different implementations of POSIX.1
-support on VOS. There is an alpha version of POSIX that is
-available from the Stratus anonymous ftp site
-( ftp://ftp.stratus.com/pub/vos/posix/alpha/alpha.html ). There
-is a generally-available version of POSIX that comes with VOS
-Release 14.3.0 or higher. This port of POSIX will compile and
-bind with either version of POSIX.
-
-Most of the Perl features should work on VOS regardless of which
-version of POSIX that you are using. However, the alpha version
-of POSIX is missing a number of key functions, and therefore any
-attempt by perl.pm to call the following unimplemented POSIX
-functions will result in an error message and an immediate and
-fatal call to the VOS debugger. They are "dup", "fork", and
-"waitpid". The lack of these functions prevents you from
-starting VOS commands and grabbing their output in perl. The
-workaround is to run the commands outside of perl, then have perl
-process the output file. These functions are all available in
-the generally-available version of POSIX.
-
-=head1 INSTALLING PERL IN VOS
-
-=head2 Compiling Perl 5 on VOS
-
-Before you can build Perl 5 on VOS, you need to have or acquire the
-following additional items.
-
-=over 5
-
-=item 1
-
-The VOS Standard C Compiler (or the VOS Standard C
-Cross-Compiler) and the VOS C Runtime. If you are using
-the generally-available version of POSIX support, you may
-instead use the VOS GNU C/C++ Compiler. These are
-standard Stratus products.
-
-=item 2
-
-Either the VOS OS TCP/IP or STCP product set. If you are
-building with the alpha version of POSIX you need the OS
-TCP/IP product set. If you are building with the
-generally-available version of POSIX you need the STCP
-product set. These are standard Stratus products.
-
-=item 3
-
-Either the alpha or generally-available version of the VOS
-POSIX.1 environment.
-
-The alpha version of POSIX.1 support is available on the
-Stratus FTP site. Login anonymously to ftp.stratus.com and
-get the file /pub/vos/posix/alpha/posix.save.evf.gz in
-binary file-transfer mode. Or use the Uniform Resource
-Locator (URL)
-ftp://ftp.stratus.com/pub/vos/posix/alpha/posix.save.evf.gz from
-your web browser. Instructions for unbundling this file
-are at ftp://ftp.stratus.com/pub/vos/utility/utility.html
-This is not a standard Stratus product.
-
-In VOS Release 14.3.0, the generally-available version of
-POSIX.1 support is bundled with the VOS Standard C compiler
-(or Standard C Cross-Compiler). In VOS Release 14.4.0 or
-higher, it is also bundled with the VOS C Runtime. These
-are standard Stratus products.
-
-=item 4
-
-You must compile this version of Perl 5 on VOS Release
-14.1.0 or higher because some of the perl source files
-contain more than 32,767 source lines. Due to VOS
-release-compatibility rules, this port of perl may not
-execute on VOS Release 12 or earlier.
-
-=item 5
-
-If you are using the generally-available version of VOS POSIX
-support, then you should also acquire the VOS GNU C/C++ Compiler
-and GNU Tools product. When perl is built with this version of
-POSIX support, it assumes that it can find "bash", "sed" and
-other POSIX-compatible commands in the directory
-/system/gnu_library/bin.
-
-=back
-
-To build perl using the supplied VOS command macros, change to
-the "vos" subdirectory and type the command "compile_perl
--processor X", where X is the processor type (mc68020, i80860,
-pa7100, pa8000) that you wish to use. Note that the
-generally-available version of POSIX.1 support is not available
-for the mc68020 or i80860 processors.
-
-Use the "-version alpha" control argument to build perl with
-the alpha version of POSIX support, and use the "-version
-ga" control argument to build it with the
-generally-available version of POSIX. The default is "ga".
-
-Use the "-compiler cc" control argument to build perl with
-the VOS Standard C compiler. Use the "-compiler gcc"
-control argument to build it with the GNU GCC compiler. The
-default is "cc".
-
-You must have purchased the VOS Standard C Cross Compiler in
-order to compile perl for a processor type that is different
-from the processor type of the module.
-
-Note that code compiled for the pa7100 processor type can
-execute on the PA7100, PA8000, PA8500 and PA8600 processors, and
-that code compiled for the pa8000 processor type can execute on
-the PA8000, PA8500 and PA8600 processors.
+To build perl from its source code, you must have a Continuum
+platform running VOS Release 14.5.0 or later, the STCP product,
+and the GNU C++ and GNU Tools, Release 2.0.1 or later.
