I'm trying to get Perl5 compiled with dynamic loading on a unixware 1.1.1 
system using gcc 2.6.3. I've managed to get everything compiled (except the
posix module :-) but when I run the test cases, I get the complaint that:

lib/anydbm.....Can't load '../lib/auto/Fcntl/Fcntl.so' for module Fcntl: dynamic linker: ./perl: relocation error: symbol not found: stack_sp at ../lib/DynaLoader.pm line 124.

 at ../lib/Fcntl.pm line 45
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./lib/anydbm.t line 11.


I'm using -fpic and -G options.
Any ideas? Thanks

   George

Here is a patch for a small typo in my patch.

Dynamic loading of perl modules isn't supported for UnixWare.  The
svr4 hints file sets the default value for usedl to 'n'.  I gather
that it's possible to get it to work, but not with perl5.000 as
distributed.  I seem to recall that changes to both the build and
install procedures were needed.  I don't have UnixWare, so I can't
test or verify any of this.

I'm afraid you'll have to settle for static linking for now.
Sorry :-(
