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. case "$usethreads" in $define|true|[yY]*) cat >&4 <&4 <
