Hi Derek,
Excellent! I'm glad that someone has made the effort to try this on
AIX. First off, I would suggest upgrading to 1.5.3, there is a big
increase in functionality, so if you're going to go through an effort
to get this to compile, it might be worth your while to use the latest
code.

Try this: edit Makefile.PL and remove the -DDEBIAN and -DHAS_BOOL from
the list of CFLAGS, then re-run 'perl Makefile.pL' and see if this
works.
I'll try to find an AIX machine at sourceforge or apache, and give you
a hand.
