libjcode-perl is architecture "all", and i can install it on my powerpc
machine. have you tried again lately?
a side-note:
while playing around, i noticed that there was an incorrect symlink in the
/usr/lib/perl5/5.6/powerpc-linux directory: asm pointed to "asm-powerpc" when
in fact it should have pointed to "asm-ppc". Perhaps this should be a bug
against one of the perl packages?
as for libft-perl, it uses something from perl called "xsubpp" to generate a
.c file from a .xs file. It seems that it works fine on my potato system
(with perl 5.005), but it won't compile on a system with perl 5.6 (both i386
and powerpc). It complains about an undeclared variable (of a name which
isn't in the .xs file, so i'm guessing it's autogenerated).
i still don't fully understand the problem, but the short story is that it
doesn't seem to compile with perl-5.6. I'm still looking into the cause, but
i believe it's happening for all architectures.
