[SOLVED] Perl header file "sys/ioctl.ph"

starfry · 2015-07-07 08:54:21

I have a snippet of Perl code that includes the line:

require "sys/ioctl.ph

This doesn't appear to be recognised by perl on Arch. Is this an omission, is the snippet wrong, or is there a package that I need to install ?

I've googled and seen other mentions of this header and it being missing. I've don't think I've missed an Arch package.

Perl isn't everyday for me - perpaps someone for whom it is would know the answer to this?

Many thanks.

Post the code. I'm sure that someone can answer.

The code I was playing with is this:

perl -e 'require "sys/ioctl.ph"; ioctl(STDIN, &TIOCSTI, $_) for split "", join " ", @ARGV' echo test

I get this

Can't locate sys/ioctl.ph in @INC (did you run h2ph?) (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/share/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/core_perl /usr/share/perl5/core_perl .) at -e line 1.

It works if I work around the issue

perl -e 'ioctl(STDIN, 0x5412, $_) for split "", join " ", @ARGV' echo test

Since posting the question, I looked into it a bit more and found "h2ph" (thanks to the prompt in the error message ). I read this and went ahead and did this:

(cd /usr/include; sudo h2ph -r -l .)

After that, my original command worked. However, I think "h2ph" run like that may generate a load of unwanted perl header files. It probably doesn't matter but a little more thought might be appropriate.

This is my first message on this forum and I don't know if it is accepted to reply to solved threads.
For future reference, using the -a option of h2ph convert the header files provided as well as any header they include.
Extracting needed header from a perl script and passing them to h2ph -a allow to convert only needed headers.

sometimes it's OK... but what is definetely not OK is to necropost a five year old thread.

Especially what the topic marked as solved. Thank you for trying to help, but please be aware of the last post time.
