HP-UX (11.00, 11.11, 11.23) doesn't ship with Perl by default, AFAIK (so what version you find depends on whoever installed it).

    Not completely true. It depends on what (pre)installation was perfomermed and by whom.

    Below is a list of the perl that got installed at installation time as system's perl. As I always use my own compiled versions, I do not care to update the preinstalled version, so I may say I think it was installed as such by default:

    HP-UX 11.31/IPF5.8.8
    HP-UX 11.23/IPF5.8.8
    HP-UX 11.11/PA5.005_02
    HP-UX 11.00/PA4.0 PL36
    HP-UX 10.20/PA4.0 PL36

    For modern releases, HP has an official depot available for free here. Next to that, the HP Porting Center has recent versions of perl available on a restricted number of OS releases here. I have almost every version of perl available for all of the above HP-UX versions here.


    Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn
