Title: Perl
Post by: laur on December 24, 2005, 11:49:33 pm

I need to learn perl for work, so I thought I would install it on Gimlet.
What (and where can i get) is the latest package and are there any gotcha's to installing?

THANKS

There is perl 5.6 and 5.8 for the Z. I personally prefer the older 5.6.1 version. It seems more compatible with my apps so I stick with it. see [a href=\"http://www.users.on.net/~hluc/myZaurus/custom.html#perl]http://www.users.on.net/~hluc/myZaurus/custom.html#perl[/url]

I also use 5.6.1 (5.8 looked a bit large).  I have posted the version I use here:

[a href=\"http://sense.net/zc/perl/]http://sense.net/zc/perl/[/url]

with addtional modules that I require for my application development.  Also included is Perl/Tk support for GUI development if you have X installed.
