27 # Subject: sockets broken under IRIX 5.3? YES...how to fix
28 # Anyone attempting to use perl4 or perl5 with SGI IRIX 5.3 may discover
29 # that sockets are essentially broken. The syslog interface for perl also
30 # fails because it uses the broken socket interface. This problem was
31 # reported to SGI as bug #255347 and it can be fixed by installing
32 # patchSG0000596. The patch can be downloaded from Advantage OnLine (SGI's
33 # WWW server) or from the Support Advantage 9/95 Patch CDROM. Thanks to Tom
34 # Christiansen and others who provided assistance.
