Subject: FCGI 0.30, Perl 5.00401 and HPUX 9

Bummer.  Finally got Perl 5.004_01 to compile with sfio97 on HPUX 9 by 
removing the ifndef around FILE in sfio.h.  All tests pass and the new perl 
w/sfio is running great on our central server here.

However, when I try to build FCGI 0.30, I get this:

/www2/tools/perl/bin/perl -I/www2/tools/perl/lib/PA-RISC1.1/5.00401 
-I/www2/tools/perl/lib /www2/tools/perl/lib/ExtUtils/xsubpp  -typemap 
/www2/tools/perl/lib/ExtUtils/typemap FCGI.xs >FCGI.tc && mv FCGI.tc FCGI.c
Please specify prototyping behavior for FCGI.xs (see perlxs manual)
cc -c -I. -D_HPUX_SOURCE -Ae -I/usr/local/include 
-I/www2/tools/perl/src/sfio97/include -O    -DVERSION=\"0.30\" 
-DXS_VERSION=\"0.30\" +z -I/www2/tools/perl/lib/PA-RISC1.1/5.00401/CORE  
FCGI.c
cpp: "sfio.h", line 75: warning 2001: Redefinition of macro FILE.
cc: "FCGI.xs", line 58: warning 604: Pointers are not assignment-compatible.
cc: "FCGI.xs", line 59: warning 604: Pointers are not assignment-compatible.
cc: "FCGI.xs", line 171: error 1002: Unexpected character: '/'.
make: *** [FCGI.o] Error 1

The Redefinition warning is due to the problems with the FILE definition on 
HPUX with sfio.

Lines 58/59 are:

sfdcnewfcgi(stream)
        FCGX_Stream *stream;
{
    FCGI_Disc*  disc;

    New(1000,disc,1,FCGI_Disc);
    if (!disc) return (Sfdisc_t *)disc;

    disc->disc.exceptf = (Sfexcept_f)NULL;
    disc->disc.seekf = (Sfseek_f)NULL;
    disc->disc.readf = sffcgiread;  >>>>> Line 58 <<<<<<
    disc->disc.writef = sffcgiwrite;
    disc->stream = stream;
    return (Sfdisc_t *)disc;
}

As for the Line 171 error:

            /* add magic for future assignments */
//            sv_magic(sv, sv, 'e', p, p1 - p);
            /* call magic for this value ourselves */

Isn't // supposed to be a one line comment?  Easy enough to fix but I want 
to make sure before I yank that line.

I notice that the other folks who got FCGI w/sfio working on HPUX were on 
10, but I'm stuck on 9 since our company is entrenched with cluster nodes 
(not supported on 10)

Any help is greatly appreciated!
