Is there no Linux distribution that supports PPC32? I would think
that would be the easiest path forward, but you're the PPC32 expert -
not me - so I'll assume you already tried that or it didn't work for
other reasons.
I'm also not a Perl expert, but it looks like PathTools is part of the
core Perl5 release, have you tried that?
https://github.com/Perl/perl5/tree/blead/dist/PathTools
Finally, no, our only really maintained test suite is the Perl based
one; there have been other efforts over the years but they were never
properly supported and fell out of use (and applicability). At some
point you/someone was able to run the test suite, why isn't that
working now? Or was it a different powerpc ABI?
