Forget to welcome to this GREAT forums. Keep posting. A suggestion that use appropriate heading in threads. :) Scripting may be different in installing perl rgt.

# Step to install perl in hp-ux without building from source


Download depot file on perl from, http://hpux.connect.org.uk/ftp/hpux/Languages/perl-5.8.6/perl-5.8.6-hppa-11.11.depot.gz

# mv /tmp/
# cd /tmp
# gzip perl-5.8.6-hppa-11.11.depot.gz
# cd /
# swinstall -s /tmp/perl-5.8.6-hppa-11.11.depot.gz

It will install perl.

To learn perl then,

a) http://www.perl.com/pub/q/documentation
b) Man pages of perl, perldoc functionality
c) http://www.cs.cf.ac.uk/Dave/PERL/ (I feel it is good place to start and reach expert level)

Nope. You can use perl related stuffs only with windows. You can try to execute cls command of dos from system() with perl and clear of unix with system() with perl.

If you want to execute unix commands on unix machine,

a) Get Cygwin utility (http://www.cygwin.com/)
b) Remote execution of unix commands with rsh / telnet
