+=head2 Using perl from HP's porting centre
+
+HP porting centre tries very hard to keep up with customer demand and
+release updates from the Open Source community. Having precompiled
+Perl binaries available is obvious.
+
+The HP porting centres are limited in what systems they are allowed
+to port to and they usually choose the two most recent OS versions
+available. This means that at the moment of writing, there are only
+HPUX-11.00 and 11-20/22 (IA64) ports available on the porting centres.
+
+HP has asked the porting centre to move Open Source binaries
+from /opt to /usr/local, so binaries produced since the start
+of July 2002 are located in /usr/local.
+
+One of HP porting centres URL's is http://hpux.connect.org.uk/
+The port currently available is built with GNU gcc.
