Hi, I've been searching list archives regarding an old thread that talks about perl dbd oracle on fbsd:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-database/2006-October/000465.html My problem is not exactly the same but I need to proxy a specific proprietary perl library that uses xs and was built for linux. I agree with the conclusion of the thread, and I doubt there is a way that fbsd perl would be able to work with this lib directly. So, I was thinking of installing this "linux-perl" on compat and just proxy the lib methods via a daemon (even simple http web service) so I can use the lib through fbsd perl by mean of lwp, for example. This "linux-perl" is mentioned in the thread several times but I don't seem to find information about this anywhere else in the archive, and perl doesn't seem to be in the f10 compats either. I've STFW and I can't seem to find any other obvious reference to this linux-perl stuff. So what is this linux-perl they are talking about in this thread? Does anybody know how I can build/install a perl 5.10 or above that can run in the f10 compat layer?
