I am new to perl. I need to install perl 5.6.1 with the following modules in my hp ux server.
FindBin, Net::Domain, Net::FTP, Getopt::Long, File::Find, File::Basename, Carp::Heavy
If I install perl 5.6.1, will that also install the above modules or do I need to install them seperately, if so please let me the procedure to install the modules.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Perl 5.6.1
Perl 5.6 is quite old. You should definitely install a version of 5.8. Version 5.8.8 is the current release. All of the above modules should be present in a recent distribution. If not, or you need others, CPAN is your source.
You can get pre-compiled HP-UX Perl 5.8.8 binaries from here:
http://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=PERL
(or):
http://mirrors.develooper.com/hpux/
Look to CPAN here:

Re: Perl 5.6.1
Thanks for the quick response. I need to install 5.6.1 as per my customer requirement. Can you please tell me, whether these modules are present in 5.6.1, how can I check that?
Thanks
Ravi.

SolutionYou would be far better with 5.8.x. I'm not sure that all of these modules are in the core distribution for 5.6.
You can easily verify a module's availability by doing, for example:
# perl -MGetopt::Long -e 1
The module name follows the '-M' switch. If the module is missing, you will get a "Can't locate" message.

Re: Perl 5.6.1
Do one more thing. Educate your customer and convince him/her to use current software with richer features, better security, and old bugs fixed.
Perl 5.6.1 dates to circa 2001.
I really can't think of any reason why your customer would want to start by throwing away 5-years of maturation.
Regards!
