Installing Perl

Installing Perl 5.10.0:

written by EON April 01, 2012 (Estimated Time: 5 mins)

These steps will guide installing Perl 5.10.0 on EON 1.0 and higher. The Binary Kit is not required install Perl.

Let's set the temporary links for wget and md5 since the Binary Kit is not yet downloaded. If the Binary Kit is already installed, then skip these steps.

cd /mnt/eon0/bin

./slinky wget

wget -q -U mozilla -O slinky http://bit.ly/zNY7rI

wget -q -U mozilla -O md5sum http://bit.ly/xwQZU3

wget -q -U mozilla -O /usr/bin/rail http://bit.ly/yqck53

chmod 755 md5sum slinky /bin/rail

./slinky md5

rail install emp

Let's install Perl.

rail install perl

 install perl ...

 success: /usr/local/.store

 download ok: /usr/local/.store/perl-5.10.0.tgz

 found local /usr/local/.store/perl-5.10.0.tgz

 (md5 pass: dee21512ca9c9a1f0b55a08b1491e077)

 installing: /usr/local/.store/perl-5.10.0.tgz ... done

Let's reset the temporary links to production values

cd /mnt/eon0/bin

./slinky r

./slinky perl

Programs like kstat, psrinfo, lgrpinfo should now have full functionality. To test:

kstat -m cpu_info

psrinfo -v

lgrpinfo

perl -v
