-=head1 NAME
-
-README.qnx - Perl version 5 on QNX
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-As of perl5.7.2 all tests pass under:
-
- QNX 4.24G
- Watcom 10.6 with Beta/970211.wcc.update.tar.F
- socket3r.lib Nov21 1996.
-
-As of perl5.8.1 there is at least one test still failing.
-
-Some tests may complain under known circumstances.
-
-See below and hints/qnx.sh for more information.
-
-Under QNX 6.2.0 there are still a few tests which fail.
-See below and hints/qnx.sh for more information.

-=head2 Required Software for Compiling Perl on QNX4
-
-As with many unix ports, this one depends on a few "standard"
-unix utilities which are not necessarily standard for QNX4.
-
-=over 4
-
-=item /bin/sh
-
-This is used heavily by Configure and then by
-perl itself. QNX4's version is fine, but Configure
-will choke on the 16-bit version, so if you are
-running QNX 4.22, link /bin/sh to /bin32/ksh
-
-=item ar
-
-This is the standard unix library builder.
-We use wlib. With Watcom 10.6, when wlib is
-linked as "ar", it behaves like ar and all is
-fine. Under 9.5, a cover is required. One is
-included in ../qnx
-
-=item nm
-
-This is used (optionally) by configure to list
-the contents of libraries. I will generate
-a cover function on the fly in the UU directory.
-
-=item cpp
-
-Configure and perl need a way to invoke a C
-preprocessor. I have created a simple cover
-for cc which does the right thing. Without this,
-Configure will create its own wrapper which works,
-but it doesn't handle some of the command line arguments
-that perl will throw at it.
-
-=item make
-
-You really need GNU make to compile this. GNU make
-ships by default with QNX 4.23, but you can get it
-from quics for earlier versions.

-=head2 Outstanding Issues with Perl on QNX4
-
-There is no support for dynamically linked libraries in QNX4.
-
-If you wish to compile with the Socket extension, you need
-to have the TCP/IP toolkit, and you need to make sure that
--lsocket locates the correct copy of socket3r.lib. Beware
-that the Watcom compiler ships with a stub version of
-socket3r.lib which has very little functionality. Also
-beware the order in which wlink searches directories for
-libraries. You may have /usr/lib/socket3r.lib pointing to
-the correct library, but wlink may pick up
-/usr/watcom/10.6/usr/lib/socket3r.lib instead. Make sure
-they both point to the correct library, that is,
-/usr/tcptk/current/usr/lib/socket3r.lib.
-
-The following tests may report errors under QNX4:
-
-ext/Cwd/Cwd.t will complain if `pwd` and cwd don't give
-the same results. cwd calls `fullpath -t`, so if you
-cd `fullpath -t` before running the test, it will
-pass.
-
-lib/File/Find/taint.t will complain if '.' is in your
-PATH. The PATH test is triggered because cwd calls
-`fullpath -t`.
-
-ext/IO/lib/IO/t/io_sock.t: Subtests 14 and 22 are skipped due to
-the fact that the functionality to read back the non-blocking
-status of a socket is not implemented in QNX's TCP/IP. This has
-been reported to QNX and it may work with later versions of
-TCP/IP.
-
-t/io/tell.t: Subtest 27 is failing. We are still investigating.
-
-=head2 QNX auxiliary files
-
-The files in the "qnx" directory are:
-
-=over 4
-
-=item qnx/ar
-
-A script that emulates the standard unix archive (aka library)
-utility. Under Watcom 10.6, ar is linked to wlib and provides the
-expected interface. With Watcom 9.5, a cover function is
-required. This one is fairly crude but has proved adequate for
-compiling perl.
-
-=item qnx/cpp
-
-A script that provides C preprocessing functionality. Configure can
-generate a similar cover, but it doesn't handle all the command-line
-options that perl throws at it. This might be reasonably placed in
-/usr/local/bin.

-=head2 Outstanding issues with perl under QNX6
-
-The following tests are still failing for Perl 5.8.1 under QNX 6.2.0:
-
- op/sprintf.........................FAILED at test 91
- lib/Benchmark......................FAILED at test 26
-
-This is due to a bug in the C library's printf routine.
-printf("'%e'", 0. ) produces '0.000000e+0', but ANSI requires
-'0.000000e+00'. QNX has acknowledged the bug.
