Hello Digital UNIX Managers,
I have made the newest (5.004_04) version of perl available as a setld
kit, along with Tk and various other extensions that seemed reasonable
to include. This kit can _ONLY_ be installed on V4.0B or greater.
The kit can be found on
ftp://ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/PERL5004SETLD.tar
with an accompanying .readme file, which follows.
Please let me know if you have problems with the kit.

INTRODUCTION
============
This is a binary, setld format kit of Perl 5.004_04 for Digital UNIX.
This kit is _ONLY_ for Digital UNIX V4.0B or greater. It will _NOT_
install on V3.X. Sorry, but I don't have time to support all versions
of Digital UNIX. If you want a binary perl kit for V3.X, get my
PERL5003SETLD.tar kit.
The kit comprises three subsets:
1. the Perl base kit itself
2. the Tk extension
3. some miscellaneous extensions that you may find useful.
See below for more information about the components.
INSTALLATION
============
create a temporary directory somewhere
cd /var/tmp
mkdir perl
cd perl
untar the archive
tar xvf /path/to/archive/PERL5004SETLD.tar
run setld
setld -l .
select whatever subsets are desired.
cleanup
rm -rf /var/tmp/perl

MORE INFO ON THE KIT COMPONENTS (SUBSETS)
=========================================
The tk and misc subsets are optional, and only depend on the base subset.
Either one or both can be installed. The sizes are as follows (uncompressed):
PRLBASE504 12504952
PRLMISC504 2871751
PRLTK504 4152060
--------
total 19528763
Perl Base Subset:
built on V4.0B of Digital UNIX, optimized with -O4, no -tune
done (non architecture specific) includes h2ph'd versions of
/usr/include/*.h, /usr/include/sys/*.h, and any others
necessary for a "require 'sys/ioctl.ph';" to work.
Tk:
This is the complete Perl/Tk release (V400.202) with two additional
utilities for which there are manpages:
Tk-WaitBox-1.2
Tk-ProgressBar-1.0
The README files for these extensions can be found in
/usr/opt/PERL5004/doc
Misc:
This is a collection of extensions which you may find useful.
The latest release was copied from the CPAN at the time this
kit was produced (November, '97). Any dependencies of an
extension on other extensions were satisfied. All extensions
have _not_ been tested.
CGI-modules-2.76 - possibly useful for writing CGI scripts
Data-Dumper-2.07 - automatically dump data structures
HTML-Stream-1.40 - automates writing HTML docs
MD5-1.7 - cryptographic checksums
MIME-Base64-2.03 - MIME equiv of uuencode
MIME-parser-1.13 - aids parsing MIME messages
MIME-tools-3.204 - tools for parsing and creating MIME entities
MailTools-1.09 - related to mail (e.g., RFC822 header parsing)
POP3Client-1_15 - act as POP client
Time-HiRes-01.14 - access to usec kernel routines (gettimeofday)
TimeDate-1.07 - time/date parsing routines
libnet-1.0601 - client API to various IP protocols
libwww-perl-5.15 - client (and other) API to WWW
The README files for these extensions can be found in
/usr/opt/PERL5004/doc
