Perl is a scripting or macro language that is +popular on many systems. See perlbook for a number of good books +on Perl. +.PP +These are instructions for building Perl from source. This version of +Perl requires the dynamic linking support that is found in OpenVOS +Release 17.1 and thus is not supported on OpenVOS Release 17.0 or +earlier releases. +.PP +If you are running \s-1VOS\s0 Release 14.4.1 or later, you can obtain a +pre-compiled, supported copy of perl by purchasing the \s-1GNU\s0 Tools +product from Stratus Technologies. +.SH "BUILDING PERL FOR OPENVOS" +.IX Header "BUILDING PERL FOR OPENVOS" +To build perl from its source code on the Stratus V Series platform +you must have OpenVOS Release 17.1.0 or later, \s-1GNU\s0 Tools Release +3.5 or later, and the C/POSIX Runtime Libraries. +.PP +Follow the normal instructions for building perl; e.g, enter bash, run +the Configure script, then use \*(L"gmake\*(R" to build perl. +.SH "INSTALLING PERL IN OPENVOS" +.IX Header "INSTALLING PERL IN OPENVOS" +.IP "1." 4 +After you have built perl using the Configure script, ensure that you +have modify and default write permission to \f(CW\*(C`>system>ported\*(C'\fR and +all subdirectories. Then type +.Sp +.Vb 1 +\& gmake install +.Ve +.IP "2." 4 +While there are currently no architecture-specific extensions or +modules distributed with perl, the following directories can be +used to hold such files (replace the string \s-1VERSION\s0 by the +appropriate version number): +.Sp +.Vb 1 +\& >system>ported>lib>perl5>VERSION>i786 +.Ve +.IP "3." 4 +Site-specific perl extensions and modules can be installed in one of +two places. Put architecture-independent files into: +.Sp +.Vb 1 +\& >system>ported>lib>perl5>site_perl>VERSION +.Ve +.Sp +Put site-specific architecture-dependent files into one of the +following directories: +.Sp +.Vb 1 +\& >system>ported>lib>perl5>site_perl>VERSION>i786 +.Ve +.IP "4." 4 +You can examine the \f(CW@INC\fR variable from within a perl program +to see the order in which Perl searches these directories. +.SH "USING PERL IN OPENVOS" +.IX Header "USING PERL IN OPENVOS" +.SS "Restrictions of Perl on OpenVOS" +.IX Subsection "Restrictions of Perl on OpenVOS" +This port of Perl version 5 prefers Unix-style, slash-separated +pathnames over OpenVOS-style greater-than-separated pathnames. +OpenVOS-style pathnames should work in most contexts, but if you have +trouble, replace all greater-than characters by slash characters. +Because the slash character is used as a pathname delimiter, Perl +cannot process OpenVOS pathnames containing a slash character in a +directory or file name; these must be renamed. +.PP +This port of Perl also uses Unix-epoch date values internally. +As long as you are dealing with \s-1ASCII\s0 character string +representations of dates, this should not be an issue. The +supported epoch is January 1, 1980 to January 17, 2038. +.PP +See the file pod/perlport.pod for more information about the OpenVOS +port of Perl. +.SH "TEST STATUS" +.IX Header "TEST STATUS" +A number of the perl self-tests fails for various reasons; generally +these are minor and due to subtle differences between common +POSIX-based environments and the OpenVOS \s-1POSIX\s0 environment. Ensure +that you conduct sufficient testing of your code to guarantee that it +works properly in the OpenVOS environment. +.SH "SUPPORT STATUS" +.IX Header "SUPPORT STATUS" +I'm offering this port \*(L"as is\*(R". You can ask me questions, but I +can't guarantee I'll be able to answer them. There are some +excellent books available on the Perl language; consult a book +seller. +.PP +If you want a supported version of perl for OpenVOS, purchase the +OpenVOS \s-1GNU\s0 Tools product from Stratus Technologies, along with a +support contract (or from anyone else who will sell you support). +.SH "AUTHOR" +.IX Header "AUTHOR" +Paul Green (Paul.Green@stratus.com) +.SH "LAST UPDATE" +.IX Header "LAST UPDATE" +February 28, 2013 |
