Yes, perl is in QOpenSys. You have to add a symbolic link. See the setup
instructions at this link in midrange.com
http://faq.midrange.com/data/cache/379.html
1. Download the Perl 5.8.0 iSeries PASE binaries from CPAN website at
http://www.cpan.org/ports/os400/
2. Uncompress the zipped tarball. (I used Winzip for Windows and it
produced perlpkg/perl-5.8.0@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
3. Create the folder perlpkg in the QOpenSys file system. Remember that
in QOpenSys file names are case sensitive.
4. Copy the uncompressed tarball to the new folder. (I used iSeries
Navigator to create the folder and copy the uncompressed tarball but FTP
will work if you use binary mode)
5. Start a PASE terminal session by entering CALL QP2TERM in your 5250
terminal session
6. Enter command: cd /QOpenSys
8. Enter command: tar -xvf perlpkg/perl-5.8.0@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
(this will install Perl in /QOpenSys/perl)
9. Enter command: ln -fs /QOpenSys/perl/bin/* /QOpenSys/usr/bin
(This will create symbolic links to the Perl binaries in the /QOpenSys/usr/bin folder which is part of the standard PATH environment variable.)
10. If you want to see what your PATH environment variable contains
enter the command: env PATH
11. To make sure Perl installed correctly enter command: perl -v

Hi Gang,
I'm trying to configure PERL on V5R1. I've downloaded the PASE version and have configured everything according to the instructions. When I try to run a test script, I get an error message that indicates that the system may be looking for PERL in the ILE mode. ( RESOLVE TO PROGRAM PERL FAILED, EXCEPTION ID MCH3401 FOR CGI /.....) (Apache log)
Any ideas??? Is the /usr/bin/perl path being redirected somehow?
Thanks
