I did read a write-up in SysAdmin mag that the perl that comes with solaris 8
did some funny things. I tried it (perl) on a new E250 with the default perl
and it was doing some straing things. I just went and loaded perl 5.6 and everything
worked..
As to NT, they have perl included in there resource pack. It is a bad version though. Most
normal things dont work and the (-V|-v) shows that it was compiled by
Microsoft so im not sure what they did to it. I dump it for ActiveState's perl ASAP.
As a side note to the perl on Solaris8. They also give you cds with GNU make, gimp and a bunch of
other stuff. Most of it is the same as from http://www.sunfreeware.com

Good news, hopefully the rest will follow. | [reply] |
Do you think that with Microsoft getting involved with ActiveState that Perl will be bundled with Windows 200x?
Just think, you could run perl scripts on PC clients without having to worry whether they had a perl install or not. Goodbye to the 200+ different scripting languages that M$ has invented over the last few years. Just add a .pm for each product. A .pm for SMS, for Sourcesafe, small windows applications written in Tk without a perl rollout...
As close to heaven as a PC will let you.
