A version of Perl greater than 5.004 is needed to run Soupermail, so check that your version's up to date by running the following at the command line: perl -v The latest versions of Perl can be downloaded from http://www.perl.com/ or, if you're running Windows NT, from http://www.activestate.com/.

You need perl at least 5.004. I test each new distribution agains 5.005* and 5.004_04 version of perl. You need DBI module version 1.00 or higher, if you want to use the DBD driver (which you should).

With an up to date perl installation one may query the local perl setup and all extensions via the command: perldoc perllocal For the Tk extension: version numbering has changed recently and determining the version of Perl/Tk that you are running now depends on what version you are running: Tk-b10 (and higher) has changed to $Tk::VERSION (rather than the older "$Tk:Version") to be consistent with other packages.

Yes. On December 4, 1996, ActiveWare released a beta version of PerlScript, an ActiveScripting engine for the Perl language. You'll also need to download either the Perl for Win32 5.003 binary or source format package in the same directory (see question 1.13). There's no documentation to speak of, but there are several examples. ActiveScripting works a lot like OLE Automation, so if you review that documentation, plus the ActiveScripting documentation, you should be able to get along.

The current version of Perl is 5.6.1. The url below displays all the information pertaining to Perl on our system.

We are currently running Perl 5.1.x or greater. If you need a module installed, just let us know and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.

Linuxha.net has been developed against various increments of Perl 5.8 and apart from a work around in 5.8.0, all other iterations have worked without issue. The author can not forsee any likely problem if minor incremets to 5.8 are installed. The more likely times for problems are when 5.10 based Perl installations become available. Of course when that does happen the author will test the software and make any alterations required as soon as possible (if any are needed).

We support Perl 5.6.0 by ActiveState. Make sure your scripts are compatible with Windows NT/2000/2003 Servers as many are made for Unix only. Each account comes with its own pre-configured /cgi-bin directory. If you do not see a cgi-bin directory when your account is first set up, simply create a folder called cgi-bin inside your /wwwroot directory (if hosted on Windows 2003) or in the /html directory (if hosted on Windows 2000 servers).

In one of your terminals (xterm or DOS-box) type the following command: perl -v This runs the perl interpreter with the option '-v' which stands for 'version'. It should produce a message reading something like This is perl, version 5....

If you share your system with other users, it is recommended that the system administrator installs Perl to make it available for everyone. If you whish you can also install your own version in one of your local directories (it requires about 15 MB of space).

The server uses Perl 5.6.1. To find out the version of any program on the server (such as perl, gcc), login to your shell account and type: programname -v

Longer answer: In order to build Perl/Tk from source code you do need a recent version of perl, the Perl/Tk source code kit, a graphical user interface library such as Xlib, Presentation Manager, or Win32; a C or C++ compiler, and a make utility. In some rare cases Perl/Tk binaries are distributed for some platforms but that is more the exception than a general rule (see below). If you will be attempting to port Perl/Tk to your platfrom then you might want to consult the document at: http://w4.

Because I like Perl. Also, the Internet version of the Alkalinity Calculator was written in Perl; so by writing the stand-alone version in Perl, I didn't have to change most of the original calculation routines. If I had converted the program to Excel, I would have had to rewrite most of the calculations as Visual Basic macros. While it is true that Excel could have simplified the tasks of graphing and printing results, the disadvantages outweighed the advantages.

Perl v5.6.0 is a major release that incorporates all maintenance and development changes since the last major release, 5.005. As you may have noticed, the version numbering has changed. Releases will henceforth be numbered as revision.version.subversion triples. Maintenance releases will have an even version component, while the version component for development releases will be odd. For example, the next maintenance update of Perl 5.6.0 will be v5.6.

We use the following versions of each program, which are updated whenever there is a new version out:

Perl 5.8.7. We are always using the latest version. We update to the newer versions as they become available.
