I have problems with installing and using LWP 5.00 on BSD/OS 2.1 (I didn't 
have those problems on HP/UX 10.10).

I successfuly installed Perl 5.002 on HP/UX 10.10 and on BSD/OS 2.1. Now, if I 
try to install LWP 5.00 after having installed without problems Net::FTP and 
MD5, I got this problem in the 'make test' step :

        ../../perl t/TEST 0
base/afm............FAILED before any test output arrived
        Test returned status 1 (wstat 256)
base/base64.........FAILED before any test output arrived
        Test returned status 1 (wstat 256)

local/get...........FAILED before any test output arrived
        Test returned status 1 (wstat 256)
FAILED--20 test scripts could be run, alas -- no output ever seen
*** Error exit code 2

If I use /usr/bin/perl5 t/TEST 0, all tests are ok. However, perl5 and 
../../perl are the same binaries. I must underline the fact that this problem 
occurs on both HP/UX and BSD/OS.

When I tried the commands below, I have problems too :

HEAD news:31BE8DDC.167EB0E7@francenet.fr
501 Not Implemented

lwp-request http://www.francenet.fr
501 - Can't load '/usr/local/lib/perl5/i386-bsdos/5.00201/auto/Socket/Socket.o'
 for module Socket: can't resolve undefined symbols: Inappropriate file type 
or format.

 at /usr/local/lib/perl5/Socket.pm line 272
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/LWP/Socket.
pm line 41.

If you have an idea about this problem, I would be very grateful of your help 
since I am working on that about a week and I would really like to make it 
work.

Thanks in advance.	Gildas.
