I need perl 5.6.1 binaries.
Is it possible to download this old version?
Thanks

I don't think there ever were 5.6.1 binaries for Itanium...

I try to use source perl 5.6.1 but I can't compile. Have I to use some specific settings to configure makefile? which ones?
Thanks

Hi:

You can get 5.8.0, 5.8.2 or 5.8.3 binaries for Itanium servers from HP:

Will 5.6.2 do? it's binary compatable with 5.6.1, but the distribution had some configuration changes to make building easier on more modern systems, and more modern compilers.

Please try to build 5.6.2 with either HP C-ANSI-C or GNU gcc (preferably 3.4.4, 3.4.5 but 4.0.2 should also work)

Please tell me if you find any trouble.

I will have access to a rx1620 with HP-UX 11.23 pretty soon now, and I plan to check all configuration for HP-UX on it, and note my findings in README.hpux and hinst/hpux.sh

README.hpux is essential reading, and when you still have trouble, see if hints/hpux.sh needs a change for your config to work, and make sure you mail me

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

"Can't prepare SELECT... ORA-01062: unable to allocate memory for define buffer (DBD ERROR: OCIDefineByPos)"

On hp 8000 PA-RISC platform the same program works fine whith 5.6.1 perl version

any ideas?

Thanks!!
