How can I install Perl on OpenVMS 7.1
How can I install Perl on OpenVMS 7.1
I try to install Perl on OpenVMS 7.1-1H1 but unsuccessfully :-(
Each package I try to install (5.6.1 or 5.8.4) are for OpenVMS 7.2 or 7.3 or more.
If somebody can help me, or send me a link to download something, I'll be happy !
Otherwise, is there any other free compiler for OpenVMS ?
Many thanks
Serge

Re: How can I install Perl on OpenVMS 7.1
Is there anywhere that disk savesets or cd images can be downloaded ?
I cannot get to http://www.openvmshobbyist.com/ at this time, midday GMT, so probably long before daybreak wherever the server lives...:-)

Re: How can I install Perl on OpenVMS 7.1
As for 'other free compilers, how about "gcc"? Look in the OpenVMS FAQ http://h71000.www7.hp.com/faq/vmsfaq_020.html at the sub-sections following "13.2 Where can I find UNIX tools for OpenVMS?"

Re: How can I install Perl on OpenVMS 7.1
There is a Perl 5.6.0 kit that will run on VMS 7.1 available at the sidhe.org site already mentioned. That's now a rather old version of Perl, but depending on what you are doing might be good enough.
As far as gcc goes, it was at one time possible to build Perl on VAX with gcc, but that was eight or ten years ago. The lack of a viable gcc on Alpha caused support for that to dead end. We've never taken out the support that was there, but there have been many, many other developments that would make building Perl on VMS with gcc an uphill battle at this point. As I understand it, Ad a Core Technologies do now maintain some portion of gcc on Alpha and Itanium as part of the infrastructure for their Ada compiler, but as far as I know they don't make a complete gcc package available separately.

It was Perl 5.6.1, if memory serves me.
Good luck
