Configuring was not a problem.
But when using make, I keep having problems.
The first problem occured when using miniperl on pod/pod2text.PL; it
resulted in a core dump. Calling it from the prompt solved this problem.

The second problem was that ext/Opcode/Makefile.PL would not generate a
Makefile. Temporary solved it by using Makefile.old. Here also a core dump.

And again problems this time when calling​:
./miniperl -Ilib -e 'use AutoSplit; autosplit_lib_modules(@​ARGV)' lib/*.pm
lib/*/*.pm
make​: 1254-059 The signal code from the last command is 11.
(This signals a segmentation violation)

The core dump's are always generated by miniperl.
Examing the coredump shows :
Segmentation fault in Perl_scalar at line 785 in file "op.c" ($t1)
  785 for (kid = cUNOPo->op_first; kid; kid = kid->op_sibling)

Is this a known problem?
Do you have any suggestions as how to tackle this problem; I don't really
have the time to start source debugging.

Many thanks in advancd,
Yours sincerly P. Bunck

I had no problems. I also have AIX 4320 and am using the

  vac.C 4.4.0.0 COMMITTED C for AIX Compiler

C compiler. I used ./Configure -des. Below is the output of my perl -V

Several people have reported success building 5.005_03 on AIX
before. Try disabling optimizations in your C compiler (using
./Configure -Doptimize=-g ...) and see what happens.

Thanks to helpfull email the problems are solved.

I am using the compiler​: ibmcxx.cmp 3.6.6.0 C IBM C
and C++ Compilers
When using optimalisation and this compiler, it generates core dumps.
Disabling the optimalisation solves the problem.
