It seems that the struct userinfo and the function getuser are not available in the 64-bit version: Excerpt from https://communities.vmware.com/thread/348117?start=0&tstart=0 Show quoted text

Indeed. I just made the change below which removes the getuser() reference in 64-bit mode. We'll have to see if there's another way to get the fd count for a process.

Just today we have tried to upgrade Proc::ProcessTable from 0.46 to 0.56 on an AIX 7.1 system. Our perl 5.14.2 was build at the time we were working with AIX 6.1 (osvers='6.1.0.0'). We have similar 64bit compilation issues because "struct userinfo" is not available as a 64bit flavour. We have tried some hours to fix this without success. Then we have detected that the hints file that EUMM has taken into consideration was seemingly wrong. We have downloaded hints/aix_6.pl (#114455) from github and we were able to compile and test Proc::ProcessTable successfully. I am unable to value the result. At the moment I have only one question: Why (according to #114455) are the aix_6.pl and aix_7.pl hints files still not part of the Proc::ProcessTable distribution. Thanks.

Good one. Probably I missed #114455 when checking the bug reports. aix_6 & 7 were not in the MANIFEST and as consequence not part of the dist. Annoyed by this fact and by the archaic way of building the dist, I rewrote the Makefile.PL and moved some files to the right places. For now I did a DEV release to see if it works. Once I see that it's stable, I'll bump the version to 0.57 with aix 6 & 7 included.
