  • 1.  Perl Modules for AIX 7.2

    Posted Sat May 20, 2023 02:18 PM

    Once again, the developer is asking for extra perl modules, specifically xml:parser. I have tried to install modules on Solaris before with no luck (using cpan site, the whole install script was broken and not maintained). I am hoping that AIX community is a little more helpful then the Solaris group.  

    I even would want to install all the modules at one time so I dont have to keep installing stuff. so if anyone can offer some helpful suggestions would be great. The server in NON-Internet connected.

    I just installed the AIXTOOL BOX version of perl. hope that satisfies the issue.
