Perl 5.6 for hpux 10.20 PA RISC 1

[ricky_8]

Hello,

I would like to know whether it is possible to get perl binaries for 10.20 HPUX version for PA RISC 1.1 version.

And does it matter if PA RISC version is different viz 1.1 or 2

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Rgds,

Hi

you can find the source file in :
http://www.perl.com/CPAN/src/

see perl 5.6

you can also find a more upgrade version in :
http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Languages/perl-5.8.0/

you can compile and the sourse over there

Hi!
It is not possible to find new Perl-version on http://hpux.cs.utah.edu
Try:

/www/perl.com/CPAN/src/latest.tar.gz.

It is standard source-distribution, easy
for compilation eighter for 10.20 or
for 11.00

I've got a precompiled perl-5.8.0 for 10.20/pa-1.1 plus a useful load of modules ready for you on https://www.beepz.com/personal/merijn/ or http://www.cmve.net/~merijn/

Any reason you need 5.6.1?

Hello,

I would like to know whether perl 5.6.x working on 10.20 PA RISC 2 is compatible with 10.20 PA RISC 1 version.

Do we have any document or guideline for it?

Depends on where and how it is built. If it is built with an older gcc compiler (< 3.x) it is most likely that it might work, because pa-risc 2.0 support was only added in 3.0.4 (first tries, 3.2 and up are much better).

If it's built with HP C-ANSI-C /without/ the +DAportable flag, forget it. You can check how it is build with

perl -V

[ FYI If you realy need a 5.6.1 for 10.20, I've got a very recent updated version available here, but it's not as flexible as my default ports: it's built with HP C-ANSI-C (which means that it is 25% faster than gcc builds) and debugging enabled, which you will need to add XS modules, and it is installed on /pro/local instead of /opt/perl5 or /usr/local) ]
