Hi,
I used that to compile against the 7.6.04 sp2 API without too much hands on
and problems.
I did some manual changes to Makefile.PL and later Makefile if I recall it
right, but not too much.

> 11. A 32 bit Perl interpreter is required to use ARSperl. Did the following:
> A. Installed 32 bit RHEL 6.5 VM on local workstation.
> B. Made a tar file of /usr/lib/perl5
> cd /usr/lib ; tar -cvf /tmp/perl5lib.tar perl5
> C. Copied tar file and /usr/bin/perl to the target server
> scp /usr/bin/perl account@server:/tmp/perl32
> scp /tmp/perl5lib.tar account@server:/tmp
> D. Renamed /usr/lib/perl5 to /usr/lib/perl5.old
> cd /usr/lib ; mv perl5 perl5.old
> Note: I did not see this directory on a freshly installed 6.6 machine.
> E. Untarred perl5 tar file to /usr/bin
> cd /usr/bin ; tar -xvf /tmp/perl5lib.tar
> F. Copied /tmp/perl to /usr/bin/perl32
> cp /tmp/perl32 /usr/bin
> G. Moved perl interpreter and tar file to /usr/local/src
> 1. cd /usr/local/src
> 2. mkdir perl32 ; cd perl32
> 3. mv /tmp/perl5lib.tar .
> 4. mv /tmp/perl32 .
> Note: When working on the local 32 bit VM, if additional packages need

> Install Remedy API
> ------------------
> 20. The latest ARS Perl works with the 7.6 version of the Remedy API.
> The 7.6 API can still connect to Remedy servers with later versions.
> Downloaded the 7.6 version of the Linux API files from
> https://rrr.se/cgi/index?pg=arapi
> A. cd /usr/local/src
> B. mkdir remedyapi ; cd remedyapi
> C. wget https://rrr.se/download/arapi/api764sp5linux.tar.gz
>
> 21. Gunzipped and untarred Remedy API package.
> Note: We keep the API in the /usr/local/lib directory, since the
> ARS.so package permanently needs to reference the libraries.
> A. cp api764* /usr/local/lib
> B. mkdir /usr/local/src/remedyapi ; cp api764* /usr/local/src/remedyapi
> C. cd /usr/local/lib
> D. gunzip api764*
> E. tar -xvf api764*
> F. rm api764*.tar
>
> 22. Move and rename some library files, so that ARSPerl can compile
> Note: The problem is twofold: 1) ARSPerl looks in $ARS_API/lib,
> not in $ARS_API/bin, and 2) when including a library with
> -licudatabmc, it is looking for a file named libicudatabmc.so.
> For these reasons, we copy library files from bin to lib and
> rename them.
> A. cd /usr/local/lib/api764*
> B. cd bin
> C. cp *.so.32 ../lib
> D. cp libicudatabmc.so.32 ../lib/libicudatabmc.so
> E. cp libicui18nbmc.so.32 ../lib/libicui18nbmc.so
> F. cp libicuiobmc.so.32 ../lib/libicuiobmc.so
> G. cp libicuucbmc.so.32 ../lib/libicuucbmc.so
>
> Install ARSperl
> ---------------
> Reference: https://communities.bmc.com/thread/23631
> (gives some tips, but not too helpful)
>
> 30. Install 32 bit libraries for compiling ARS Perl
> A. yum install glibc-devel.i686 libgcc.i686
> B. yum install compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-69.el6.i686
> C. (optional) yum groupinstall "Compatibility Libraries"
>
> 31. Get ARSperl tarball
> A. cd /usr/local/src
> B. mkdir arsperl ; cd arsperl
> C. Go to http://arsperl.org
> D. Click on Installation link near bottom of page.
> E. Click on "Download the distribution"
> F. Click on ARSperl-1.93.tar.gz
> G. Copy the file to the server and place in /usr/local/src/arsperl
> directory
>
> 32. Gunzip and untar ARSperl
> A. cd /usr/local/src/arsperl
> B. cp ARSperl-1.93.tar.gz /tmp
> C. cd /tmp
> D. gunzip ARSperl-1.93.tar.gz
> E. tar -xvf ARSperl-1.93.tar
> F. rm ARSperl-1.93.tar
>
> 33. Update ldconfig with path to API libraries
> A. Edit a new file called /etc/ld.so.conf.d/arsperl.conf
> vi /etc/ld.so.conf.d/arsperl.conf
> ------------------- Add Text -----------------------------------
> /usr/local/lib/api764sp5linux/lib
> ----------------------------------------------------------------
> B. Run ldconfig to enable the ld command to be aware of the new directory
> ldconfig
>
> 34. Edit the Makefile.PL file
> A. cd /tmp/ARSperl-1.93
> B. vi Makefile.PL
> 1. Edit $ARSAPI variable to point to Remedy API directory
> $ARSAPI = "/usr/local/lib/api764sp5linux";
> 2. Edit $ARSVERSION to match API version. ARSperl-1.93 defaults to 7.6
> $ARSVERSION = 7.6;
> 3. Edit the $ARCHITECTURE variable. Even though we're on a Linux
> 64-bit machine, do not select lx64.
> $ARCHITECTURE = "";
> 4. Save and exit.
>
> 35. Perl the Makefile.PL file in order to generate a Makefile. Remember to
> use the 32 bit perl interpreter.
> A. perl32 Makefile.PL
> B. Read over the output and make sure there are no warnings about
> missing libraries. If so, verify step 22. For example, you do
> not want to see:
> Note (probably harmless): No library found for -licuucbmc
> Note (probably harmless): No library found for -licui18nbmc
> C. Press return/enter for any server name, username, password, port
> prompts.
>
> 36. Make the ARSperl-1.93 install directory real clean. The developers use
> a Mac, which creates a lot of ._ files which confuse the make process.
> We want to delete the ._ files.
> make realclean
> Note: As an alternative, rm -fr .\_* also works
>
> 37. Perl the Makefile.PL file one more time. (if you just did make realclean)
> A. perl32 Makefile.PL
> B. Enter Remedy server information
> Server Name: <your Remedy server>
> Admin Username: <your Remedy admin account>
> Admin Password: <your password>
> TCP Port: 0
>
> 38. Run make to compile ARSperl
> A. make
> B. Check the end of the output for any errors.
> Note: If there is a complaint about ._Makefile.PL, then
> rm ._Makefile.PL ; perl32 Makefile.PL ; make
>
> 39. Run make test to verify that the first several tests pass.
> A. make test
> Note: I observed that tests beginning at t/31createschema failed,
> but we're mainly using ARSperl to create and update records.
> This was the 7.6 API testing against a 6.3 server.
> B. Assuming everything is ok, go into the Remedy Admin client
> and delete the ARSperl* forms that the test created.
>
> 40. Run make install to install the ARSperl module
> make install
>
> 41. Delete the Remedy API and ARSperl directories, as they are no longer
> needed.
> cd /tmp
> rm -fr ARS* api*
> Note: Do not delete /usr/local/lib/api764sp5linux, since the ARSPerl
> now depends on those files remaining in place.
>
> After following these instructions, my existing scripts that use ARSPerl
> worked as expected. At the beginning of your perl scripts, you will need to
> change #!/usr/bin/perl to #!/usr/bin/perl32
