Although the configuration information in your bug report looks superficially fine\, I don't really know what I'm talking about\, as it's years since I touched an SCO system. If you built perl yourself\, and ran the Configure program interactively\, it's possible you gave a bad answer to one of the questions; try running it with default answers and see if the resulting perl works any better​:

make clean rm -f config.sh Policy.sh sh Configure -de make all test

should do the trick.

You might also want to try building perl 5.6.0\, the current stable version\, rather than the previous version\, 5.005_03. (Get it from \<http​://www.cpan.org/src/stable.tar.gz>.) Or\, as a real cop-out\, there seems to be a pre-compiled version at \<http​://www.sco.com/skunkware/osr5/interp/perl/perl-5.005.tar.gz>\, although I don't know whether it's 5.005_03 or some earlier version.

Apart from that\, may I suggest that\, if you don't get a useful reply from your perlbug submission\, you ask the same question in private mail to the people who have recently modified the SCO hints file\, hints/sco.sh? You might also like to point them at your original message on the mail list archive at \<http​://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/cgi-bin/w3glimpse2html/perl5-porters/2000-06/msg00585.html>.

Good luck.
