Perl Programming Language
Perl is a high-level programming language created and enhanced by the Open Source
community. Perl takes the best features from other languages, such as C, awk, sed, sh,
and BASIC, among others, and at least a dozen other tools and languages.
updated for
December 2004
For December 2004, Perl has the following installation-related changes:
• A symbolic link from /usr/bin/perl to /opt/perl/bin/perl has been added.
•The perllocal.pod files are marked volatile to suppress warnings from swverify.
updated for June
2004
This build corresponds to the Perl 5.8.0 source code release. The following changes have
been made:
• Better Unicode support
• New IO Implementation
• New Thread Implementation
• Better Numeric Accuracy
• Safe Signals
•Many New Modules
• More Extensive Regression Testing
Significant changes that have occurred in the 5.8.0 release are documented in
perldelta. This document can be viewed by entering man perldelta.
NOTE Perl 5.8 is not binary compatible with earlier releases of Perl. XS modules have to
recompiled. (Pure Perl modules should continue to work.)
The major reason for the discontinuity is the new IO architecture called PerlIO. PerlIO is
the default configuration because without it many new features of Perl 5.8 cannot be
used. In other words, you will just have to recompile your modules containing XS code.
new for September
2001
Included as of the September 2001 release, Perl programming language version 5.6.1 is a
release of ActivePerl, a product of ActiveState Tool Corporation.
