I tried to build perl on a NetBSD-pmax box but I got some strange
errors, here pasting in the make output:

*** Error code 1

Stop.

anyone knows how ta fix this?  or can somebody fetch me a binary copy
of perl on pmax?  I really don't have much time to hack and stuff, it's
the last week of class and finals'r coming up... ya know... :)

thanks in advance, so to speak...
