Re: AS/400 PASE Perl

[Wim <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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

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 /.....)
