Re: lang/perl5 on VAX wants NaNs and infinities



It's been this way for almost ever.

VAX don't have IEEE FP, so there are some differences between how it works on VAX and IEEE. You just have to make it accept that some tests fail, and hack around some code that might expect this.

Hi,

Perl is now at version 5.40.0. This new version fails to compile because it wants to use NV_INF and NV_NAN.

What's the best way to fix this?

Thanks,
John
