-Update June 2001: Perl 5.6.1 works fine in QNX4 with
-a few 'known' failures in the test suite.
+Some tests may complain under known circumstances. See
+below and hints/qnx.sh for more information.
-[ Perl 5.6.0 is shipping with QNX RTP (aka QNX6, Neutrino), but
-the build does not appear to be straightforward. If anyone has
-more data in this regard, please let me know.
+Under QNX 6.1.0 there are still a few tests which fail.
+See below and hints/qnx.sh for more information.
-These notes were originally written for QNX4 and do not
-necessarily apply to Neutrino, but see hints/qnx.sh for
-more information. ]
