hi Ahmed,

there is a depot can be downloaded from software.hp.com

http://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=PERL

and the installation is much straight forward.

hi Ahmed,

in the bottom of the 1st link, there is a button, "receive for fee"...

press it and you need to fill in some info to HP and next is the download link and the installation guide.

GOOD LUCK!!

Perl is free.
You can also buy it for 0 euro or 0 dollar :)
Or compile it yourself from source.

FWIW, it is included in all recent HP-UX ports

"gdbm" is the required dependency.

I never knew that was a standalone package.

Hi Ahmed,

If you have downloaded from HP-UX Porting center, you need to install all the run-time dependancies like db,libgcc, gettext, libiconv.

You can find corresponding depots on this page itself, http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Languages/perl-5.8.7/
