Aix 7.1 perl 5.10.1 - make test failed - because some modules not found. Are any install prereqs available for

AIX is similar to windows. It doesn't work with 1.42 yet and is work in progress. 

It requires strict linking, not lazy as on unix systems.

unshare_hek and debop are not exported by libperl, so we have to work around somehow.

There's a win branch to overcome these problems, but not frequently updated lately, 

as we are working on more general problems before attacking special problems such as this.

We expect the upcoming 1.43 release to work on windows, and AIX should work also then.

Thanks a lot ! When is the 1.43 release date planned ?

We have no date, but the plan was between Oct 2013 and May 2014.
We need to fix a couple of annoying bugs for rarely used features,
and started fixing problems when running the full core testsuite.
See the bug-tracker for milestone:NextRelease

https://code.google.com/p/perl-compiler/issues/list?can=2&q=Milestone%3DNextRelease

And I'm not sure yet if we can fix all the windows linking and threading
problems for 1.43. It's a back and forth
