NeXT 3.0 doesn't have POSIX support. Proceed now with

    cd <YOUR_PERL_SOURCE>
    make realclean
    rm config.sh
    cp hints/next_3_2.sh hints/next_3_0.sh

change in the file hints/next_3_0.sh the ccflags line to be

ccflags='-DUSE_NEXT_CTYPE'

and add the lines

dynamic_ext='DB_File Fcntl GDBM_File NDBM_File ODBM_File SDBM_File Socket'
static_ext='none'

to it. Then try

    Configure -des
    make
    make test

***Please*** report, what problems you had then (via e-mail). I do not
have access to a 3.0 systems. Some people have asked the same
question, but I didn't get any response if they succeeded or
not. Kevin, I count on you!

Good luck,
andreas
