Would anyone happen to have an example of using the AIX version of perl or know of a document that shows how to use perl from 5799-PTL? I have an application I would like to try and port to run on i. It runs on linux right now.

I strongly discourage using that port of perl. That was someone's attempt to make perl run *natively* on OS/400. And it did work... but almost no script is compatible with that environment. It's fine if you plan yo write your own...
But every non-trivial perl script expects to be in a Unix environment.
So I strongly recommend running the AIX version of perl, not the native one. The AIX (PASE) one is installed automagically when you install 5799-PTL, which Tomasz already installed.
See... sometimes Google is your friend, and sometimes it's your enemy.
