Thank you for porting perl,

Wish the installer worked for me so I could use it.
( complains about "perl not being executable" as a fatal error)

Keep up the good work (and this explains the nudge and suggestion to use perl that you gave me)

That's odd, how did you unpack the archive?

Please use UnArc to ensure the protection bits are corectly preserved.

Nice work Andy!

Bill "tekmage" Borsari

Great work Andy, thx!

Great, will download and try.

Edit:
Can't stat ext: No such file or directory
at installperl line 183.
WARNING: You've never run 'make test' or some tests failed! (Installing anyway.)

Use of uninitialized value $path in substitution (s///) at installperl line 544.
Use of uninitialized value $path in split at installperl line 545.

Edit 2: well, seems to work anyway.

All these are harmless warnings. Don't worry about them.

The unitiliased value $path errors are due to you not having a PATH variable set. Perl makes a number of unixy assumptions about the system.

Using XadUnFile archive.lha folder/ and then going into the folder, reading the install script,
entering the perl folder provided and using "perl installperl" as a direct shell command.

I'll unpack with UnArc and try again

will it accept SYS:Scripts/perl/ as a root path for installation at some point or is it assuming some fixed location?

--EDIT--: repeated with XadUnFile and UnArc with exactly the same error message...
Home:T %%> UnArc DL:perl_newlib.lha Home:T/
Home:T %%> cd perl-5.22.1/
Home:T/perl-5.22.1 %%> perl installperl
Can't stat ext: No such file or directory
at installperl line 183.
perl isn't executable!

You can install it under a new location from the installperl script but that's more for distro building, ideally just let it install into the SDK as designed.

That's odd as the first two lines indicate the perl already executed the installperl script.

From a fresh shell type

which perl

perl --version

maybe your previous perl is broken and interering with the installation.
