Hello everyone.

I'm having some problems with a perl module on an AIX 7.1 server.

Please see the attachment for details.

Thank you.

Looks like this isn't compatible with perl-5.10.1.

I could able to build this in AIX 7.2 with perl-5.20.1

# perl -v

This is perl 5, version 20, subversion 1 (v5.20.1) built for aix-thread-multi

.....

# make

Other option to try if you don't have dependency on base perl is to use the perl rpm package from the AIX Toolbox.

/opt/freeware/bin/perl

# make
cp lib/List/MoreUtils/XS.pm blib/lib/List/MoreUtils/XS.pm
        "/opt/freeware/bin/perl" -e 'use ExtUtils::Mksymlists;  Mksymlists("NAME" => "List::MoreUtils::XS", "DL_FUNCS" => {  }, "FUNCLIST" => [], "DL_VARS" => []);'

Alternatively you can install perl rpm for AIX toolbox repository and it will get installed in /opt/freeware/bin on your older AIX releases.

The perl provided from AIX toolbox is latest v5.28.1
