configured in the kernel. Perl tries to detect this, though, and
you will get a message telling you what to do.
-HP-UX 11 Y2K patch "Y2K-1100 B.11.00.B0125 HP-UX Core OS Year 2000
-Patch Bundle" has been reported to break the io/fs test #18 which
-tests whether utime() can change timestamps. The Y2K patch seems to
-break utime() so that over NFS the timestamps do not get changed
-(on local filesystems utime() still works).

Building Perl on a system that has also BIND (headers and libraries)
installed may run into troubles because BIND installs its own netdb.h
and socket.h, which may not agree with the operating system's ideas of
Whether you are using NIS does not matter. Amazingly enough,
the same bug also affects Solaris.
