(I may have missed seeing a patch fail but I don't think so...)
After applying patch 18, attempts to compile perl bombed out. The problem
seems to be in perl.h ... in that file "COMPEX" is typedef'ed as a
specific structure. Alas, in search.h, there is an attempt to declare
COMPEX as an instance of a structure.
I got perl to compile by commenting out the typedef in perl.h . Is this
the right thing to do? Did I screw up somewhere or is everybody else
having this trouble too?

P.S. If it matters (and I don't think that it should at this stage), this
is on a Sun 3 under SunOS 3.4
