This link will help you discover the differences betweeen 11.0 & 11.11 and as for Perl, as long as its 5.0 or higher you shouldn't have any problems running it on 11.11.

Generally, an app on 11.0 will run on 11i - perl included.

However, some apps, like Oracle, need to have their binaries re-linked if you just say restore a db from 11 to 11i.

More info:


http://docs.hp.com/hpux/os/11i/index.html

with the Release Notes and "READ Before Installing or UPdateing" documents.

11i (i=Internet) adds new features and installs more stuff automagically when the OS is installed. It also now comes in different Operating Environments (OEs). Different OEs have different products that get installed by default. So instead of buying a bunch of separate products and needing codewords to install them, you now get them bundled and they install when the OS gets installed.

More info on 11i here:

Info on the OEs available:

Sure, you can run the same application on 11i too.

Couple of differences to point out

1) OLAR is introduced
2) Operating system and softwares are installed as OE (operating environments)
3) 11.0 has only DLKM. 11i has DTKP (dynamically tunable kernel parameters)
4) support for more hardwar (ex. superdome can only run 11i)
5) you get base VXVM for free
6) you get PRM for free.
7) Partition manager only available in 11i.

and a lot more
