all other modules.

Hi,

The best way to compiler Perl is to use HP's ANSI C compiler, if you don't have that then use gcc.

Are you looking for the exact procedure for compiling and building?

Hi sekar,

Once you are done installing perl, installing the modules is a piece of cake.

The procedure is the same for pretty much all the modules. Keep in mind some modules have dependencies on other modules.

I am giving an example of the DBI modules

/Begin/
gtar xvzf /tmp/DBI-1.19.tar.gz
cd /tmp/DBI-1.19
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

/End/

Ofcourse there is another easier way, that is to download the binaries for the porting site but i prefer compiling from the source.

-HTH

There is a new alternative to building common tools:

devresource.hp.com

This site has dozens of common tools (Perl, gcc, gdb, imake, Apache, etc) in swinstall format and ready to run.
