For all the folks thinking of using Perl on Solaris 10,... DON'T !!!!!!!!!!! Perl is broken on Solaris 10 !!!! Well, after digging a bit deeper on the web, I found this: http://guest:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/rt3/index.html?q=37376 !!!!!!!! It's a PERL BUG !! which should be fixed in perl 5.9.3. A perl 5.9.3 default settings compile (only 64 bit int support expl. chosen) with gcc 3.3.2 will show the following options set: Compile-time options: PERL_DONT_CREATE_GVSV PERL_MALLOC_WRAP PERL_USE_SAFE_PUTENV USE_64_BIT_INT USE_LARGE_FILES USE_PERLIO So I installed 5.9.3,... but,... and surely some other another problems popped up. (2 RT problems mentioned below. but several required perl modules for rt show strange test results under perl 5.9.3) 1) Tree::Simple has the "use 5.6.0" on line 4, which breaks RT under perl 5.9.3 (disabling the line in the .pm works around the bug) 2) from time to time,.... (not always !!) the "RT at a glance" page breaks with the following: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Fri, 07 Apr 2006 14:02:31 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.34 (Unix) PHP/5.1.2 mod_perl/1.29 Pragma: no-cache Cache-control: no-cache Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=97 Connection: Keep-Alive, Keep-Alive Transfer-Encoding: chunked, chunked Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 System error error: Error during compilation of /usr/local/packages/rt3/share/html/Elements/CollectionAsTable/ParseFormat: Variable "$s" is not available at (re_eval 363) line 1.
