hpux 11.11 pa-risc perl dbi make install

[A. Clay Stephenson]

Merjin's Perl ports include a boatload of commonly used modules so that it is quite possible that you will need to add only a few modules yourself.

You can always install his Perl in another location and test the output of your current scripts against the new version. I suspect that the modules that you have installed to date did not require compiling and/or linking but were rather pure Perl modules.

I have already installed his version of perl on my test system.

One concern is that his version is compiled for 64b pa-risc2.

I run 32/64 pa-risc1.1

I do not see that he offers an option for that.

The limited testing I have done works fine thus far, however, larger applications make use of perl as well, in ways that I do not have the ability to test. And using this gcc version of perl will not fall under my support contracts. That is why I originally wished to install only the module rather than the entire perl version.

Hi (again) Ben:

Another path to try is this: Download a current version of Perl from HP:

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

If you don't have the HP ANSI C compiler, run:

# /opt/perl/bin/change_config_pm gcc

This should allow you to change the compiler for module builds to 'gcc'.

Regards!

You run 32/64 pa-risc-1.1?????

PA-RISC-1.1 only supports 32bit!
Take my build for HP-UX 10.20 to see if that runs on your PA1.1

But don't be misguided by what your current perl build tells you. Use the FAQ methods to see what system you actually have before downloading the correct version.

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn
