Hi *

I've bee tasked to evaluate the folloing problem.

We're running HPUX 10.20 and 11i clusters and some packages need to
have perl installed into them.
Is there a possibility to install perl into the packages without having
to compile it again everytime??
Is it possible to copy it from one package/machine to another without
major modifications (perhaps with a script that changes paths and other
necessary things)??

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Christian

For example, make a software depot, which is accessible from all your
servers. Copy the software to this depot. Now you can swinstall the
binaries from the other clients over network from the depot.

Other method is to make a depot from your compiled binaries by your
self. Look for Software Package Builder (spb).

You can also copy this depot files to the other systems, and install it
localy without the need of a depot.

Other method is to make a tar file from your compiled binary and copy it
to the destinations systems, and untar it there.

You will get perl also from the application CDs or from software.hp.com
as compiled binary in the swdepot format.

On my HPUX 11.0 boxes I frequently install perl from '.depot' sources
received from either software.hp.com or from http://hpux.cs.utah.edu
(http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Languages/perl-5.8.6/ ). once
installed, I've tar'd the entire perl directory from the /opt/perl tree
and copied/un-tar'd it on other HPUX 11.0 boxes w/o and trouble.

I don't know about copying from 10.20 to 11i. Why not try it? I've still
got some 9.05 applications hanging around that work on 11.0 that were
tar'd and copied from 9.05 to 10.20 to 11.0.
