As with many unix ports, this one depends on a few "standard"
-unix utilities which are not necessarily standard for QNX.

This is used heavily by Configure and then by
-perl itself. QNX's version is fine, but Configure

will choke on the 16-bit version, so if you are
running QNX 4.22, link /bin/sh to /bin32/ksh
Configure and perl need a way to invoke a C
preprocessor. I have created a simple cover
for cc which does the right thing. Without this,

+There is no support for dynamically linked libraries in QNX4.
+
+The following tests may report errors under QNX4:
+
+ext/Cwd/Cwd.t will complain if `pwd` and cwd don't give
+the same results. cwd calls `fullpath -t`, so if you
+cd `fullpath -t` before running the test, it will
+pass.
+
+lib/File/Find/taint.t will complain if '.' is in your
+PATH. The PATH test is triggered because cwd calls
+`fullpath -t`.
-There is currently no support for dynamically linked libraries.
+ext/IO/lib/IO/t/io_sock.t: Subtest 14 is skipped due to
+the fact that the functionality to read back the non-blocking
+status of a socket is not implemented in QNX's TCP/IP. This
+has been reported to QNX and it may work with later versions
+of TCP/IP.

expected interface. With Watcom 9.5, a cover function is
required. This one is fairly crude but has proved adequate for
