NAME
README.vmesa - building and installing Perl for
VM/ESA.
SYNOPSIS
This document will help you
Configure, build, test and install Perl on VM/ESA.
DESCRIPTION
This is a fully ported
perl for VM/ESA 2.3.0. It may work on other
versions, but that's the one we've tested it on.
If you've downloaded the binary distribution, it needs to be
installed below /usr/local. Source code distributions have an
automated ``make install'' step that means you do not need to
extract the source code below /usr/local (though that is where it
will be installed by default). You may need to worry about the
networking configuration files discussed in the last bullet below.
Unpacking Perl Distribution on VM/ESA
To extract an
ASCII tar archive on VM/ESA, try this:
pax -o to=IBM-1047,from=ISO8859-1 -r < latest.tar
Setup Perl and utilities on VM/ESA
GNU make for VM/ESA, which may
be required for the build of perl, is available from:
