I did a project requiring Perl on the AS/400 (isn't it iSeries now?) last summer. The project was a success, but I must say that I didn't find trying to get Perl running correctly to be a pleasant experience, although this may have been due to a lack of experience working on the AS/400 on my part.
You might want to consider looking at the alternatives. The Perl port on CPAN listed above is for version 5.005, and it looked to me as though the port was not being supported very well. If you are serious about doing some kind of CGI programming on the AS/400, you might want to look at Brad Stone's BVS Tools site and the book, e-RPG, which although spendy might bring you more success in this endeavor. Some of the problems I ran into included but are not limited to
On the other hand, if you look at IBM lately, they seem to be pulling out all the stops in support of good old Linux/Apache/etc, and you might find that it is a more feasible option to go with a standardized web server platform in the long run. In reply to Re: Perl on IBM AS/400?
