If you perform a new installation, then Perl will be installed
automatically.
+=head2 Using perl from HP's porting centre
+
+HP porting centre tries very hard to keep up with customer demand and
+release updates from the Open Source community. Having precompiled
+Perl binaries available is obvious.
+
+The HP porting centres are limited in what systems they are allowed
+to port to and they usually choose the two most recent OS versions
+available. This means that at the moment of writing, there are only
+HPUX-11.00 and 11-20/22 (IA64) ports available on the porting centres.
+
+HP has asked the porting centre to move Open Source binaries
+from /opt to /usr/local, so binaries produced since the start
+of July 2002 are located in /usr/local.
+
+One of HP porting centres URL's is http://hpux.connect.org.uk/
+The port currently available is built with GNU gcc.

=head2 Compiling Perl 5 on HP-UX
When compiling Perl, you must use an ANSI C compiler. The C compiler
The most recent version of PA-RISC at the time of this document's last
update is 2.0.
+A complete list of models at the time the OS was built is in the file
+/usr/sam/lib/mo/sched.models. The first column corresponds to the last
+part of the output of the "model" command. The second column is the
+PA-RISC version and the third column is the exact chip type used.
+(Start browsing at the bottom to prevent confusion ;-)

Just before HP took over Compaq, some systems were renamed. Visit
http://www.hp.com/products1/servers/server_names.html to see what
the changes are, or will be.
HP 9000 A-Class servers, now renamed HP Server rp2400 series.
- HP 9000 N-Class servers, now renamed HP Server rp7400.
HP 9000 L-Class servers, now renamed HP Server rp5400 series.

=head2 Portability Between PA-RISC Versions
An executable compiled on a PA-RISC 2.0 platform will not execute on a
gcc yet, you can either build it yourself from the sources (available
from e.g. http://www.gnu.ai.mit.edu/software/gcc/releases.html) or fetch
a prebuilt binary from the HP porting center. There are two places where
-gcc prebuilds can be fetched the first and best (for HP-UX 11 only) is
+gcc prebuilds can be fetched; the first and best (for HP-UX 11 only) is
http://h21007.www2.hp.com/dspp/tech/tech_TechSoftwareDetailPage_IDX/1,1703,547,00.html
the second is http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Gnu/ where you can also
find the GNU binutils package. (Browse through the list, because there
are often multiple versions of the same package available).
+Above mentioned distributions are depots. H.Merijn Brand has made prebuilt
+gcc binaries available on https://www.beepz.com/personal/merijn/ for
+HP-UX 10.20 and HP-UX 11.00 in both 32- and 64-bit versions. These are
+bzipped tar archives that also include recent GNU binutils and GNU gdb.
+Read the instructions on that page to rebuild gcc using itself.
+
Building a 64bit capable gcc from source is possible only when you have
the HP C-ANSI C compiler available, which you should use anyway when
building perl.
