- @@@STARTPACK(perl;PERL scripting language)
-
- <P>PERL is a scripting language in use in many sites today. It combines
- the best features of sed, awk, shell scripts and even a little BASIC.
- It is commonly used for administrative tasks, and for WWW CGI scripts.
- Many stools depend on perl, and no system is complete without it.</P>
-
- <P>This page provides links to Perl 5 binary distributions for SCO platforms
- and the Perl source archive as well as
- <A HREF="../src/htdocs/perl5.004.04.html">
- more info on Perl 5</A>.</P>
-
- <P>In addition to the custom installable Perl 5.004_04 for OpenServer 5 on
- Skunkware 98, there is a gzip'd tar archive of
- <A HREF="../osr5/interp/perl-5.005/perl-5.005.tar.gz">Perl 5.005</A>
- pre-compiled for use on SCO OpenServer 5. Manual installation of this
- release of Perl can be accomplished by issuing the following commands (as root):
-
- <PRE>
- # cd /
- # gzcat /mount-point/osr5/interp/perl-5.005/perl-5.005.tar.gz | tar xf -
- </PRE>
-
- where mount-point refers to the directory path on which the Skunkware 98
- CD-ROM is mounted.
