I'm a bit of an old hacker and have a need to use Perl.
3MX comes with 5.8.8 which is fine (I might want to update to a 5.10 version later) however, there seems to be something slighly awry with it. In particular I'm trying to use the CPAN module (makes life very easy for libraries and the like).
However when I perl -MCPAN -e shell I get
a) some output regarding the locale which I am temporarily ignoring, but more worryingly...
b) a failure on importing modules because "nan" is not exported by the Opcode module
This then stops compilation.
Has anyone else come across this, or better solved it? I could rebuild perl I guess...
The other concern is that there seems to be no "make" - but that may be just that I haven't looked too hard. I have installed the gcc and tools...
