Hi HP3000-L,
Perl/iX for HP e3000 MPE

What's New
* June 1, 2000
o Rebuilt to be compatible with mod_perl. If you plan on using
mod_perl, you MUST download and install this version of Perl/iX!
+ bincompat5005="undef": sorry, but you will have to recompile
any binary 5.005 extensions that you may be using (if any;
there is no 5.005 code in what you download from bixby.org)
+ uselargefiles="undef": not available in MPE for POSIX files
yet.
o Now bundled with various add-on packages:
+ libnet
+ libwww-perl (LWP) which lets Perl programs behave like web
browsers:
1. #!/PERL/PUB/perl
2. use LWP::Simple;
3. $doc = get('http://www.bixby.org/mark/perlix.html'); #
reads the web page into variable $doc
+ mod_perl (just the perl portion; the actual DSO will be
released soon with Apache/iX 1.3.12 from bixby.org). This
module allows you to write high performance persistent Perl
CGI scripts and all sorts of cool things.
+ and much much more hiding under /PERL/PUB/.cpan/
o The CPAN module now works for automatic downloading and
installing of add-on packages:
1. export FTP_PASSIVE=1
2. perl -MCPAN -e shell
3. Ignore any terminal I/O related complaints!

- Mark B. (stay tuned for Apache/iX 1.3.12 bundled with mod_perl)
