Sorry, forgot that little detail: I have libperl.a. I got the perl
source, but in order to build in support for files >2GB, one must use
HP's ansi c compiler, which I don't have on this box. It can be done
with gcc, but gcc has to have been built using HP's ansi c compiler not
the built-in k&r compiler, so either way I need the ansi c compiler. Sigh.
Back in the days (6 years back) when I used HP-UX, you could download a
binary of gcc from the Liverpool University archive.
