Re: Pearl on AS/400

[Philip Jackson <philipj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yep,

Perl is available for the 400.  See IBM's website:

http://www.as400.ibm.com/tstudio/workshop/tiptools/toolindx.htm

and follow the link near the bottom, or straight to the page:

http://www.as400.ibm.com/tstudio/workshop/tiptools/perl.htm


Perl Version 5.003 

 Public domain software is now available for download that will allow
 you to run Perl scripts on AS/400. 

 The Perl distribution for the AS/400 is packaged as two (2) SAVF
 format files: 

      The Perl source, libraries, and test suites (perlsrc.savf) 
      A precompiled perl executable with the Perl libraries and test
      suites (perlpgm.savf) 

 These files are available at CPAN sites in the directory:
 ports/as400. 

 Please see the installation notes and the readme which is included
 in the save file for complete unpack and installation instructions and
 any known problems and limitations. 

 NOTE: This is public domain software

 IBM will not provide service and support for running Perl
 scripts on AS/400 .
