Is there no Linux distribution that supports PPC32? I would think that would be the easiest path forward, but you're the PPC32 expert - not me - so I'll assume you already tried that or it didn't work for other reasons. I'm also not a Perl expert, but it looks like PathTools is part of the core Perl5 release, have you tried that? https://github.com/Perl/perl5/tree/blead/dist/PathTools Finally, no, our only really maintained test suite is the Perl based one; there have been other efforts over the years but they were never properly supported and fell out of use (and applicability). At some point you/someone was able to run the test suite, why isn't that working now? Or was it a different powerpc ABI? -- paul moore www.paul-moore.com
