compiled and/or runs.
+=head2 Using perl as shipped with HP-UX
+
+As of application release September 2001, HP-UX 11.00 is shipped with
+perl-5.6.1 in /opt/perl. The first occurrence is on CD 5012-7954 and
+can be installed using
+
+ swinstall -s /cdrom perl
+
+assuming you have mounted that CD on /cdrom. In this version the
+following modules are installed:
+
+ ActivePerl::DocTools-0.04 HTML::Parser-3.19 XML::DOM-1.25
+ Archive::Tar-0.072 HTML::Tagset-3.03 XML::Parser-2.27
+ Compress::Zlib-1.08 MIME::Base64-2.11 XML::Simple-1.05
+ Convert::ASN1-0.10 Net-1.07 XML::XPath-1.09

+ Font::AFM-1.18 Storable-1.011 libxml-perl-0.07
+ HTML-Tree-3.11 URI-1.11 perl-ldap-0.23
+
+The build is a portable hppa-1.1 multithread build that supports large
+files compiled with gcc-2.9-hppa-991112
+
+If you perform a new installation, then Perl will be installed
+automatically.

A more general approach is to intervene manually, as with an example for
the DB_File module, which requires SleepyCat's libdb.sl:
hints provided for HP-UX during Configure will try very hard to get
this right for you.

In general, a value of 256MB (or "256*1024*1024") is sufficient for
Perl to compile at maximum optimization.
+=head1 nss_delete core dump from op/pwent or op/grent
+
+You may get a bus error core dump from the op/pwent or op/grent
+tests. If compiled with -g you will see a stack trace much like
+the following:
+
+ #0 0xc004216c in () from /usr/lib/libc.2
+ #1 0xc00d7550 in __nss_src_state_destr () from /usr/lib/libc.2

+ #7 0x23728 in S_run_body () from ./perl
+ #8 0x23428 in perl_run () from ./perl
+ #9 0x2005c in main () from ./perl
+
+The key here is the C<nss_delete> call. One workaround for this
+bug seems to be to create add to the file F</etc/nsswitch.conf>
+(at least) the following lines
+
+ group: files
+ passwd: files

+Whether you are using NIS does not matter. Amazingly enough,
+the same bug affects also Solaris.
