Install perl 5.8.3 on hpux11.11

[David L Brewster]

I am trying to install perl 5.8.3 which I downloaded from software.hp.com.
swinstall yields the following:
* Session started for user "root@muse".

* Beginning Selection
* Target connection succeeded for "muse:/".
ERROR: Could not apply the software selection "perl" because it
refers to a bundle or to a product, subproduct or fileset
within a bundle but no compatible bundles meeting the
specification were found.
* Software selection failed for
"muse:/tmp/depot/perl_D.5.8.3.E_HP-UX_B.11.00_32+64.depot".
ERROR: No software has been selected.
ERROR: Cannot continue the "swinstall" task.
* Selection had errors.

I am running hp11.11.

What do I need to do or am I doing something wrong?

Either install the pre-referenced bundles first (I don't know what that perl depot depends on, but adding -v to swinstall will probably tell you), or install perl from somewhere else.

If you choose to take my build, I assure you that it does NOT depend on anything else :)

The bundle you refer to was perl-5.8.3 built for 11.00.
My depot is specifically built for 11.11 and installs a more recent perl (5.8.8)

It appears you downloaded the version for HP-UX 11.00. I'm assuming their are reasons there are options for 11iv1.0 and 11iv0409. Get the right version and it will probably install fine.
