Hi David,
I use perl4 (GNU FSFperl package) on Solaris 2.4 and I have changed all the SOCK_STREAM's, but what's about the flock() function?? This function is available only on SunOS and BSD-style machines. At this moment, I am trying to emulate this function whith calls to fcntl().
Also, I have try to compile Perl4 whit /usr/ucblib/libucb but this an impossible task. I have read in the Perl4 FAQ's that it is better to forget about BSDism's like that :-(.
If anyone know more about this matter, I will be happy to hear him.

All the experts here agree that perl4 on Solaris2.* is a no-no. So I haven't tried. Running rip-db under perl 5 seems to give strange db results, like it doesn't update anything...Still investigating, I think we will try and so what it does on linux :-) ____ / \/ /<>/\// Tony Barber Phone : +44(0)1223 250122 Technical Support Email : support@pipex.net
