in reply to Installing Perl in AIX 5.1
Which version of AIX you can install depends on the Power level of the hardware. You need Power 5 hardware for AIX 6.1 and AIX 6.1 is 64 bit only. But I have installed Perl 5.8.8 thru 5.12.2 on AIX 4.3 thru 7.1 using gcc. The best gcc that I have found for AIX is version 4.2.4. IBM puts Perl in /usr/bin/, so I add the versions I want/need in /usr/local/bin/.
I have been working on Linux boxes of late, so I haven't upgraded any of the AIX machines to the newer versions of Perl.
Update: Fixed /usr/bin/local/ to /usr/local/bin/. Didn't see it before!
Good Luck
