+C<PERL_GLOBAL_STRUCT> is broken.
+
+Since perl 5.14.0, building with C<-DPERL_GLOBAL_STRUCT> hasn't been
+possible. This means that perl currently doesn't work on any platforms that
+require it to be built this way, including Symbian.

+perl, it actually working on Symbian again hasn't been verified.
+
+We'd be very interested in hearing from anyone working with Perl on Symbian.
