+.SH NAME
+perlhurd \- Perl version 5 on Hurd
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+If you want to use Perl on the Hurd, I recommend using the Debian
+GNU/Hurd distribution ( see <https://www.debian.org/> ), even if an
+official, stable release has not yet been made. The old "gnu\-0.2"
+binary distribution will most certainly have additional problems.
+.SS "Known Problems with Perl on Hurd"
+.IX Subsection "Known Problems with Perl on Hurd"
+The Perl test suite may still report some errors on the Hurd. The
+"lib/anydbm" and "pragma/warnings" tests will almost certainly fail.
+Both failures are not really specific to the Hurd, as indicated by the
+test suite output.
+.PP
+The socket tests may fail if the network is not configured. You have
+to make "/hurd/pfinet" the translator for "/servers/socket/2", giving
+it the right arguments. Try "/hurd/pfinet \-\-help" for more
+information.
+.PP
+Here are the statistics for Perl 5.005_62 on my system:

+\& 99.98% okay.
+.Ve
+.PP
+There are quite a few systems out there that do worse!
+.PP
+However, since I am running a very recent Hurd snapshot, in which a lot of
+bugs that were exposed by the Perl test suite have been fixed, you may
+encounter more failures. Likely candidates are: "op/stat", "lib/io_pipe",
+"lib/io_sock", "lib/io_udp" and "lib/time".
+.PP
+In any way, if you're seeing failures beyond those mentioned in this
+document, please consider upgrading to the latest Hurd before reporting
+the failure as a bug.
