Please find below the output from Configure which fails to complete on my Tru64 4.0f Unix workstation. I've been building and running Perl for years with no such problems. I'm currently running Perl 5.8.7 which configured and built just fine. Thanks for your help.
# sh Configure -de
Beginning of configuration questions for perl5.
Checking echo to see how to suppress newlines... ...using \c The star should be here-->*
First let's make sure your kit is complete. Checking... Looks good...
Would you like to see the instructions? [n]
Locating common programs... awk is in /usr/bin/awk. cat is in /sbin/cat. chmod is in /sbin/chmod. comm is in /usr/bin/comm. cp is in /sbin/cp. echo is in /usr/bin/echo. expr is in /sbin/expr. grep is in /sbin/grep. ls is in /sbin/ls. mkdir is in /sbin/mkdir. rm is in /sbin/rm. sed is in /usr/bin/sed. sort is in /sbin/sort. touch is in /usr/bin/touch. tr is in /usr/bin/tr. uniq is in /usr/bin/uniq.
Don't worry if any of the following aren't found... I don't see Mcc out there\, offhand. ar is in /usr/bin/ar. I don't see bison out there\, either. I don't see byacc out there\, either. cpp is in /usr/bin/cpp. csh is in /usr/bin/csh. date is in /sbin/date. egrep is in /usr/bin/egrep. I don't see gmake out there\, either. gzip is in /usr/bin/gzip. I don't see less out there\, either. ln is in /sbin/ln. make is in /sbin/make. more is in /usr/bin/more. nm is in /usr/bin/nm. nroff is in /usr/bin/nroff. pg is in /usr/bin/pg. test is in /usr/bin/test. uname is in /usr/bin/uname. I don't see zip out there\, either. Using the test built into your sh.
Checking compatibility between /usr/bin/echo and builtin echo (if any)... They are compatible. In fact\, they may be identical.
Symbolic links are supported.
Checking how to test for symbolic links... You can test for symbolic links with 'test -h'.
Good\, your tr supports [:lower:] and [:upper:] to convert case. Using [:upper:] and [:lower:] to convert case.
First time through\, eh? I have some defaults handy for some systems that need some extra help getting the Configure answers right:

You may give one or more space-separated answers\, or "none" if appropriate. A well-behaved OS will have no hints\, so answering "none" or just "Policy" is a good thing. DO NOT give a wrong version or a wrong OS.
Which of these apply\, if any? [dec_osf] Appending /usr/local/lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH. LD_LIBRARY_PATH is now /usr/local/lib:/usr/local/lib.
Configure uses the operating system name and version to set some defaults. The default value is probably right if the name rings a bell. Otherwise\, since spelling matters for me\, either accept the default or answer "none" to leave it blank.
Operating system name? [dec_osf]
Operating system version? [4.0f]
Perl can be built to use the SOCKS proxy protocol library. To do so\, Configure must be run with -Dusesocks. If you use SOCKS you also need to use the PerlIO abstraction layer\, this will be implicitly selected.
If this doesn't make any sense to you\, just accept the default 'n'. Build Perl for SOCKS? [n]
Previous version of perl5 used the standard IO mechanisms as defined in \<stdio.h>. Versions 5.003_02 and later of perl5 allow alternate IO mechanisms via the PerlIO abstraction layer\, but the stdio mechanism is still available if needed. The abstraction layer can use AT&T's sfio (if you already have sfio installed) or regular stdio. Using PerlIO with sfio may cause problems with some extension modules.
If this doesn't make any sense to you\, just accept the default 'y'. Use the PerlIO abstraction layer? [y]
Perl can be built to take advantage of threads on some systems. To do so\, Configure can be run with -Dusethreads.
Note that Perl built with threading support runs slightly slower and uses more memory than plain Perl. The current implementation is believed to be stable\, but it is fairly new\, and so should be treated with caution.
If this doesn't make any sense to you\, just accept the default 'n'. Build a threading Perl? [n] Your platform has some specific hints regarding threaded builds\, using them...
Perl can be built so that multiple Perl interpreters can coexist within the same Perl executable.
If this doesn't make any sense to you\, just accept the default 'n'. Build Perl for multiplicity? [n]
Hmm... Looks kind of like an OSF/1 system\, but we'll see...
Congratulations. You aren't running Eunice.
It's not Xenix...
Nor is it Venix... Use which C compiler? [cc] ld: -no_ansi_alias: Unknown flag ld: Usage: ld [options] file [...] Uh-oh\, the C compiler 'cc' doesn't seem to be working. Configure: gcc: not found ld: -no_ansi_alias: Unknown flag ld: Usage: ld [options] file [...] Uh-oh\, the C compiler 'cc' doesn't seem to be working. You need to find a working C compiler. Either (purchase and) install the C compiler supplied by your OS vendor\, or for a free C compiler try http://gcc.gnu.org/ I cannot continue any further\, aborting. #
