    Just in case oslevel -s Will tell you

      tollyban,

      Just in case the AIX is 5.2.0.0 or earlier, '-s' is not supported yet, just 'oslevel' will give you the AIX level.

      However, IMHO the more important question is what C compiler are you using? For CPAN installs I have used 'GCC version 4.2.4' with great success. YMMV. I don't know if CPAN authors verify that IBM's 'xlc' compiler will work with their package!

      Good Luck!

        Actually that is a fair point. I used GCC 4.2.3 for ours. Won't post my thoughts if they are still using AIX 5.2 though!! ;o)
