Much simpler would be to lift the revised code from the perl core, which sidesteps the whole alloca() mess, and demonstrably already compiles on more platforms than even the CPAN testers manage. Nicholas Clark

Version from core attached. (blead + fixes for compiler warnings, tested on a branch) I believe that this completely sidesteps the whole alloca mess, and builds everywhere perl builds. :-) Nicholas Clark

I believe this is fixed in blead and will be fixed on CPAN shortly. -- rjbs
