Well .... it builds and installs ok on Mandrake (9.1) Linux for me (perl
5.8.8), passing all tests. However, I first had to apply a very simple hack
to SysV.xs (which is part of the pre-requisite IPC-Sysv-1.03 package) -
namely, it's necessary to replace the one occurrence of 'sv_undef' in
SysV.xs with 'PL_sv_undef'.

What errors do you get with that change in place ?

If you're trying to get it working on Win32 then there's some additional
work required - I haven't properly investigated that (and don't intend to do
so, unless you tell me that you'recon Win32 :)

Cheers,
Rob
