Hi Folks, This isn't the latest greatest since 5.8.5 is out now, but these are much more recent than other binary kits available (such as the now ancient 5.6.1 still distributed by HP). Here's what I've got:
Binary kits for Alpha and Itanium: perl-5_8_4-vmsaxp-7_2-1.zip perl-5_8_4-vmsia64-8_1.zip To install these binary kits, unzip and run the included perl_setup.com from your login.com or sylogin.com. There is also an easy-to-build source kit: perlbuild584.zip Unzip and read the included readme.txt (You'll need HP C and MMS or MMK). All of these kits include 27 commonly-used extensions in addition to the Perl core. Each kit is in the 14MB to 15MB range. Thanks to the kind hosting of Martin Vorländer and Willem Grooters, the kits are available from the following links. Folks who have decent-sized pipes and a bit of spare disk space are invited to offer additional download locations and post the links here. http://www.pdv-systeme.de/users/martinv/vmssoft/perl/ http://www.openvms.de/software-download/perl/ anonymous FTP to ftp.pdv-systeme.de in the directory vms/perl/ http://www.grootersnet.nl/openVMS Enjoy! -- ________________________________________ Craig A.
