in reply to Replicating perl instance on AIX 6.1

What I would like to do, is create a "duplicate" perl instance from the OS installed system perl

Could you give us the output of:
perl -V:config_args
Cheers,
Rob

    Hello Rob. here is the output of perl-V:config_args :/# :/# perl -V:config_args config_args='-desr -Dinstallprefix=/usr/opt/perl5 -Dprefix=/usr/opt/perl5 -Dcc=x lc_r -Duseshrplib -Dusethreads'; :/#
      here is the output of perl-V:config_args

      I take it that's the "duplicate" of the system perl.
      I was actually wondering more about the config_args for the system perl - but if you're striking no issues with the duplicate you've created then there's no need for any additional action or information.

      In any case, I probably have little to offer as I've never run AIX !!

      I was a little curious as to why you felt you needed a "duplicate" of the system perl.
      Usually people look for pretty much *any* perl (generally a recent version) as a replacement - the important thing being that they can avoid messing with the system perl.
      But, it's not important that I have an understanding of the need for a duplicate, anyway.

      Cheers,
      Rob
        Hello Rob. No this is not the 'duplicate perl', I have yet to build/implement until I get a good understanding what is involved. The reason for the 'duplicate' is, my users have been running on the 'system' perl. thus there are extra modules installed and their production apps have been verified to run as designed there. I now want to decouple them from the system, and give them their own perl to run from. trying to make this as seamless and simple as possible, so, that in the end, all they would have to do is point to the 'duplicate' perl and be assured that it is the exact same version/flavor, only in different locale. Hope this makes sense and would be appreciative of any further guidance. regards, Tom
