Upgrading perl isn't always an option, I would love to use 5.6.1. I cannot get it to compile on one of my systems running HP-UX 9.01. I really have a need for IO::Socket, but that isn't in 5.001. The HP-UX 10.20 binary doesn't work either. > > --- > > NOTE: I DO NOT ADVOCATE BINARY ONLY RELEASES - I merely > acknowledge that in 'unNatural' - tantamount to 'evil' cases > users are working on systems without compilers as their 'working > environment' - rather than leaving those 'mutant' types of 'production > server' boxes chained up in the dark closet where they will not be > able to scare people.... > > > WARNING: Computers without Compilers have been known > to attack people after failing a Sanity Check or > saving throw against magic.
