I first got into this problem when trying to install Imagemagick 4.2.8.
The build was complaining about a parameter -bE​:perl.exp or
rather this was not having the desired effect. Enquiries on
Imagemagick and aix-related forums suggested that there was a problem
with the Perl distribution in this respect, i.e. that it expected
to find perl.exp in the current directory. A workaround was to
edit the appropriate makefile to specify the full path to that file,
which I did, and it got over that error. However, it went on to get
other Perl-related errors.

I realised that I did not have the latest Perl on that system
(it is/was version 5.004_04 ), so I got 5.00503 and thought I
would build that. I had previously built this on an AIX 4.3.2
system, and not noticed any errors. However, this time I noticed
the following​:

  cc -L/usr/local/lib -bE​:perl.exp -o perl perlmain.o
lib/auto/DynaLoad
er/DynaLoader.a libperl.a `cat ext.libs` -ldbm -lld -lm -lc -lbsd -lPW

Now, this did not make the build fall over, and I can even run all
the tests cleanly, but it makes me worry rather that there is
a problem on AIX in the "perl.exp" area, an area I must admit
I don't know much about. I wonder if it is connected with the
Imagemagick build errors.

My "myconfig" output is appended below.
