corrupted versions of perl

[Gregory Locke]

I am llike a bad penny. I keep comming back.

I have two versions of perl 5.8.8 and 5.8.3. Neither seems to work properly. I keep getting "can't find libperl.so' error.

This is on an Itanium rx6600. I think my best bet would be to remove all traces of perl, download a new depot (preferably 5.8.3 if I can find it) and re-install.

How do I get rid of all traces and where can I find a 5.8.3 version?

Hi Gregory:

Fetch a 5.8.8 version from here:

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

There is other software that comes with HP-UX that requires Perl, now, so trying to remove it will paritally fail for their dependency. Simply re-install and see if your problems vanish.

Regards!

Shalom,

Well it depends on where perl came from.

If it came from a depot then swremove it.

If it came in binary form, you need to do a search and destory method.

Use the find /usr -name perl, same thing for /opt and and erase it manually.
