From Kevin.Ruscoe@ubsw.com

This is a bug report for perl from Kevin.Ruscoe@ubsw.com\, generated with the help of perlbug 1.28 running under perl v5.6.0.

Hi

Line 390 of .../hints/solaris_2.sh uses the match string "2.[1-6]" to determine whether the version of Solaris is late enough to support 64 bit integers. However\, uname(1) reports the operating system release level using the kernel's 5.x numbering system\, so the string should be "5.[1-6]".

Best wishes

Kevin

No\, I was sure it couldn't be quite that obvious\, but sometimes the obvious is the most often overlooked.

Configure does "$sed 's/^5/2/g'" on the osversion for solaris. I don't even want to know why :)

I'd recommend using the following message to avoid confusing people:

Solaris `uname -r | sed -e 's/^5\.$\\<[0-6]\>$/2.\1/' -e 's/^5\.//'` does not support 64-bit integers. You should upgrade to at least Solaris 7.

This follows Sun's marketing nomenclature of 2.0 .. 2.6\, 7\, 8 and assumes that future releases will continue to use Solaris \d+. I think many people believe SunOS != Solaris (disjuct)\, while SunOS \< Solaris (part-of). (Excuses to all math people for the notation...)
