Perl 5.6.1 needed for 11.11

Geert Joosten — Tue, 18 Apr 2006 03:47:42 GMT

Hi,
For an older application we need Perl version 5.6.1, since it seems that the newer versions are not fully backwards compatible. Does anybody have the Perl 5.6.1 depot for HP-Ux 11.11 available?
Kind regards,
Geert.

Geert,
isn't perl shipped as part of the install.
You can probably get hold of a older 11.11 /11.00 install CD with 5.6.1.

HP's 5.6.1 is on the Application CD 3 from Sept 2001.
If you, like me, store all CD's you ever got, it is part number 5012-7957

Does that help?

It's not too hard to build it yourself though.

Peter, yes, it is, but they ship 5.8.x nowadays. So if you are applying gold packs' 5.6 won't be there anymore.

OK, Sept 2001 might be a bit old to have still hanging around.

Robert-Jan was so friendly to give me this link:
http://www.google.nl/search?q=site:www.hp.com/softwarereleases/+releases-media2/latest/aps+perl+5.6.1&hl=nl&lr=&filter=0

It'll show you on what other release media it was shipped.

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

Geert,
have you found the version you need?
Please update.

Until now I didn't find the needed version. Our 11.11 server is quite new, so no older CD's. I will try other links as showed as result of the search on google.

If you want, I could translate my binary dist to a depot

Geert,
I think you can get it here:
http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/?psbx=1

I do have a 5.6.1 depot on HP-UX 11i v1 media (June 2004 release), but I think I cannot distribute it outside my organisation.
An option if not finding it on the net would be to contact your HP representative and obtain B3920-14086 medium (CD3 of HP-UX 11i v1 foundation OE: http://www.hp.com/softwarereleases/releases-media2/media/B3920-14086.htm).

hope this helps...
antonio.

Hi H. Merijn (Procura),

Can you please make a distribute for me with Perl 5.6.1.C?
Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,
Geert.

Merijin,

If you can translate your binary dists to depot on important software, you are doing the entire community a huge service.

We prefer depot installations when possible.
