Re: New to PERL but how is this better than DOS?

in reply to New to PERL but how is this better than DOS?

Dear Kevin,

Solaris is one of the platforms of choice for Perl, you should have no trouble installing it with the following commands (run as root, and assuming you've downloaded the source to the latest release, currently 5.8.8):

  bunzip2 stable.tar.bz2 # may require installation from sunsite
  tar -xf stable.tar
  cd perl-5.8.8 # adjust as appropriate
  configure -des && make all test install
[download]

and you shall see, it is better than DOS.
