in reply to New to PERL

Hello TimeBandit and welcome to the monastery and to the wonderful world of perl!

As first, pedantic, note I feel the need to say that PERL simply does not exists: perl is the program and Perl is the language.

Then, after pointing you to the perlos390 official doc (already pointed by swl in the github, probably more up to date incarnation), I have found an IBM official document about the porting of perl 5.8 which is from 2006 but probably worth to investigate. See also this.

Re^2: New to Perl -- zOS perlos390

    z/OS is actively worked on, mainly by Karl. I helped out with the main update of "recent" perl builds, but all credits should go to Karl.

    After we got dynamic builds to work, third parties took over and are working on ASCII builds of perl on z/OS. That however is not finished as of today. It is work in progress.

    For the most recent updates, follow README.os390


    Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

    Yeah, that is old. Perl was apart of IBM Ported Tools, awhile back, along with a few other things. Just going to keep at it.
