+Notes on Perl on the Hurd
+Last Updated: Fri, 12 Feb 1999 21:11:14 +0100
+Written by: Mark Kettenis <kettenis@gnu.org>
+
+* Known Problems
+
+There are several problems with Perl on the Hurd.  Most of them are
+related to bugs in the OS, some might be actual bugs in Perl.
+
+The database code has problems that make Perl crash.  When running the
+test-suite one of the tests will crash.  Note that on the Hurd when a
+program crashes, the crash server suspends the program.  Continuing
+the program will cause it to exit.
+
+The socket tests may fail if the network is not configured.  You have
+to make `/hurd/pfinet' the translator for `/servers/socket/2', giving
+it the right arguments.  Try `/hurd/pfinet --help' for more
+information.  It seems that it is currently not possible to do this
+right when you do not have a supported network device.  Therefore all
+tests that use INET sockets fail on my system, suggesting that the
+`localhost' address may not be defined.
+
+Here are the statistics for Perl 5.005_03 on my system:
