22Make perl executable and create a symlink for libperl:
23

25 cd /boot/common/lib; ln -s perl5/5.10.0/BePC-haiku/CORE/libperl.so .

41The C<ext/Socket/t/socketpair.t> test fails. More precisely: the subtests
42using datagram sockets fail. Unix datagram sockets aren't implemented in
43Haiku yet.
44
45=item *
46
47A subtest of the C<ext/Sys/Syslog/t/syslog.t> test fails. This is due to Haiku
48not implementing C</dev/log> support yet.

50=item *
51
52The tests C<lib/Net/Ping/t/450_service.t> and C<lib/Net/Ping/t/510_ping_udp.t>
53fail. This is due to bugs in Haiku's network stack implementation.
