Is Perl included with HP-UX?

Added: 04/09/01 Yes, HP-UX releases 10.10 through 11.10 are shipped with Perl v4.0.1.8. 11.11 comes with Perl 5.005_02. The perl executable is /usr/contrib/bin/perl. A little known gem of knowledge is that the Perl 4 exectuable that is included with 10.10 through 11.10 is statically linked! Since the binary is only 532k, you should consider the option of placing a copy in /sbin. That way, if you ever need to boot into single-user mode to do system maintenance or emergency recovery, you’ll have all the power of Perl at your disposal! 🙂 Perl 5.6.0 binaries for 10.20 and 11.x can be obtained from on the Liverpool archive.
