Perl-1.0.0

[Otto J. Makela]

I'm trying to install to php the Perl-1.0.0.tgz package (from
http://pecl.php.net/package/perl, enabling one to call perl libraries)
to a pre-existing Solaris system.

Unfortunately, the attempt fails in a rather dramatic way, spewing out
thousands of "relocation remains"... I'm somewhat lost on what to do
next, the documentation that came along with the Perl package is
somewhat sparse. Anyone have suggestions?

So, what's your *PHP* question? Looks like you're trying to compile
Perl modules - so you should start in the Perl newsgroups.

I understand the question, all right. What I don't understand is why
you're posting this in a PHP newsgroup. You're trying to compile a Perl
package. Or haven't you figured out there is a difference between Perl
and PHP?

How many of us do you think have ever even tried to compile Perl packages?

Euhm, Jerry, a PECL PERL interpreter for PHP has a lot to do with PHP itself
I'd imagine... There's a good chance other PHP-users thought this a usefull
add-on and know the issues concerning installing it.

Some, not many.

The post isn't totally off-base, but I'd imagine people in for instance
c.l.perl could be of more assistance in this particular case, that's true.

To make it absolutely clear: Perl-1.0.0 (note the capital P) is a
php-add-on. It makes it possible to use existing perl libraries from
php. Please see http://pecl.php.net/package/perl for more info.

Exactly.

Please check out how I posted my original question:
Newsgroups: comp.lang.php,comp.lang.perl.misc
Followup-to: comp.lang.php

I would tend to think php users would know more about php packages
than perl users, even if the package was about running perl.

Ah, didn't check the original post, my bad.

Mwoah:

That would not be a PHP error, but a problem linking with perl I'd imagine.
I know nothing about perl, but I suspect perl users would know more about
this particular error.

Hope you get an answer,

Otto, this is a rather old version of Perl. Try getting newer version
from ActiveState and then linking PECL extension.

Actually, he's trying to compile PECL extension allowing him to use Perl
from PHP. You can take a look at the extension at:

This is actually mentioned in the TODO in the Perl package, so it is
a known problem and is probably not the root cause of my problem.

<snip>

As I see, the author of this package is Dmitry Stogov and he is
now working with Zend, IIRC. Projects he worked like Turck MMCache are
orphaned and got forked. By looking at the comments of the original
article <http://www.zend.com/php5/articles/php5-perl.php>, I think the
package is not quite stable. If you could tell what are you really want
to achieve, there might be better alternative than this interface to
Perl.

We have a rather large perl library of subroutines for network
management etc. (quite specialized tasks) which we'd prefer not
to have to port over to php, at least not as our first project.
However, our new website frontend is in php so as to better
integrate into the corporate network.

Having the perl libraries available from php would make life
significantly easier.

Yes, I understand that. And if you look at the errors he's getting,
they have to do with the Perl libraries.

I doubt many people here know much about the internals of Perl.

You could try your favorite Internet search engine searching for
'"Text relocation remains" libperl' and seeing if others have seen
anything similar. One possible problem seems to be using
different versions of gcc.
