Well, unfortunately that will most likely me the end of ported tools for here and several other places. we're not going to pay for support from a 3rd party when we had it under our IBM ELA so not only will we loose perl but all the others as well
Guess I better refresh myself on REXX Sandra From: [email protected] To: Perl5 Porters <[email protected]>, [email protected] Date: 04/03/2014 01:14 PM Subject: Fwd: Perl for z/OS -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I contacted IBM about compiling new releases of Perl. This is the response I received. Karl - -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Perl for z/OS Date: Tue, 1 Apr 2014 10:36:33 -0400 From: Henry Gorbsky <[email protected]> To: [email protected] CC: Amit Parasar <[email protected]> Hi Karl, Thank you for your comment on the IBM Perl for z/OS product. Unfortunately, this product will be End of Marketing as of 4/30/14. Rocket Software, our business parter, will continue to provide these tools (including Perl for z/OS) after April 30. Here is their website: http://www.rocketsoftware.com/rocket-ported-tools-zos Unfortunately, it appears that they are still providing Perl at the 5.8.7 level. You may want to check back with them in the future in case they decide to support a higher release. *regards* Hank D. Gorbsky Internet e-mail: [email protected] - From www.rocketsoftware.com/rocket-ported-tools-zos "Perl is a port of the Perl (version 5.8.7) scripting language to the z/OS UNIX System Services platform. Perl (Practical Extraction and Report Language) is a very popular general-purpose programming language that is widely used on UNIX and other computing platforms. This port of Perl to the z/OS platform offers enhancements over other versions of Perl, in that it is preconfigured and precompiled, designed to address the ASCII/EBCDIC conversion, and provide Unicode support." -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJTOu5OAAoJEJ6ApJRfJdbf4bIH/j+aJXocHpUMX9T9bjbPZ3Qd qwreBLRdf+oIeI+wieb9BYYdIpPdNEpf4SqHjYeQH6UwexlTshSXYIZRPCQuwx7P zW8H4dwRTZawNb9pXPVgFSt264TF8/DVnNqrb/+sTtsUEesjyeBftqdoM/6a4fbT eXDfAPdVO9kfthFyWNlJz4JXHGj4qdmf6NPbCLcjNT3Txnq8X9luwQDjYtj+REaa FEQe4okjRaNuYBHhGOz5eOirAe5SlIXtcpmvf53aMQ5t+CMITTAGm3zqWfqXwaId SFlAvYX9TRmnCZanXzcd99dyL0oEFpAHvRsRvQb0TXBKlZSFIzjpij46U+CTkEU= =Y0cH -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
