YES...how to fix +# Anyone attempting to use perl4 or perl5 with SGI IRIX 5.3 may discover +# that sockets are essentially broken. The syslog interface for perl also +# fails because it uses the broken socket interface. This problem was +# reported to SGI as bug #255347 and it can be fixed by installing +# patchSG0000596. The patch can be downloaded from Advantage OnLine (SGI's +# WWW server) or from the Support Advantage 9/95 Patch CDROM. Thanks to Tom +# Christiansen and others who provided assistance. |
