As of current CVS, PL/Perl doesn't seem to compile against Perl 5.8. I get the following compile error:
gcc -O2 -g -fpic -I. -I/usr/lib/perl/5.8.0/CORE -I../../../src/include -c -o plperl.o plperl.c -MMD In file included from /usr/lib/perl/5.8.0/CORE/op.h:480, from /usr/lib/perl/5.8.0/CORE/perl.h:2209, from plperl.c:61: /usr/lib/perl/5.8.0/CORE/reentr.h:602: field `_crypt_struct' has incomplete type /usr/lib/perl/5.8.0/CORE/reentr.h:747: confused by earlier errors, bailing out make[3]: *** [plperl.o] Error 1 This is running GCC 3.2 and Perl 5.8.0 on Debian unstable. There's a thread about a similar topic on p5p: http:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg75480.html The thread suggests a trivial fix: adding -D_GNU_SOURCE to the CFLAGS for the affected files. I checked, and this gets PL/Perl to compile correctly. That doesn't seem like the right fix, though. Does anyone have any comments on how to fix this properly? Regardless of the solution we choose, I think this needs to be fixed before 7.3 is released.
