in thread Perl Scripts on systems without perl environments.

IBM has published end-of-market date as December, 2005. Contract support will continue to 2007 or 2008. My guess is that if someone is actively deploying OS/2 for anything, they're paying for extensive support contracts, and this won't really bother them too much. IBM's withdrawal page. In case the OP's client isn't aware. (Unlikely.)


Former member, Team OS/2. Which means pretty much nothing other than I still have an OS/2 server running at home... ;-)

    This is not a new deployment. End of life cycle will last for several years though.

    By the way, I also still have an OS/2 system. Two actually if you count the second partition on my main Linux system.

    OS/2 is still my favorite OS. C'mon IBM! Open Source it!
