+These files are used by Configure to set things which Configure either
+can't or doesn't guess properly.  Many of these hints files are from
+perl4.  They may or may not work with perl5, but they are probably a
+good starting point.
+
+The following hints files have been tested with at least some version
+of perl5 and are probably reasonably close to being correct:
+
+aix.sh
+aux.sh
+bsdos.sh
+dec_osf.sh
+dgux.sh
+esix4.sh
+freebsd.sh
+hpux_9.sh
+irix_4.sh
+irix_5.sh
+irix_6.sh
+irix_6_2.sh
+isc.sh
