Grr..... sounds like we still have a few stragglers left over from
before the roll from perl 5.8.8 to 5.10.  Basically what this is saying
is there are a few perl libs that are build against the old perl so they
can't install.  I thought we caught them all but evidently not.

I can write a script that we can use the clean an F9-ia64 tree of all
the broken perl packages.  Then we hopefully can just rebuild these perl
libs against perl-5.10.  Often building perl packages can be painful
however due to circular dependencies so this may not be easy.

I will write up a quick python script to find any packages that require
perl-5.8.  Should have that today.



> 2 general build failure
This is encouraging.  I am surprised you only hit 2 that hit random
build failures.  Sounds like not many ia64 build regressions have crept
in since we last built.

Appears we need to manually make ocaml-extlib build after ocaml.


Glad to see the script was working for you.  Any suggestions for
improvements now that you have used it?

thanks,
