+=head1 NAME
+
+README.os400 - Perl version 5 on OS/400
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This document describes various features of IBM's OS/400 operating
+system that will affect how Perl version 5 (hereafter just Perl) is
+compiled and/or runs.
+
+By far the easiest way to build Perl for OS/400 is to use the PASE
+(Portable Application Solutions Environment), for more information see
+http://www.iseries.ibm.com/developer/factory/pase/index.html
+This environment allows one to use AIX APIs while programming, and it
+provides a runtime that allows AIX binaries to execute directly on the
+PowerPC iSeries.
+
+=head2 Compiling Perl for OS/400 PASE
+
+The recommended way to build Perl for the OS/400 PASE is to build the
+Perl 5 source code (release 5.8.1 or later) under AIX.
+
+The trick is to give a special parameter to the Configure shell script
+when running it on AIX:
+
+ sh Configure -DPASE ...
+
+The default installation directory of Perl under PASE is /QOpenSys/perl.
+This can be modified if needed with Configure parameter -Dprefix=/some/dir.
+
+Starting from OS/400 V5R2 the IBM Visual Age compiler is supported
+on OS/400 PASE, so it is possible to build Perl natively on OS/400.
+The easier way, however, is to compile in AIX, as just described.
+
+If building natively on PASE, please do the build under the /QOpenSys
+directory, since Perl is happier when built on a case sensitive filesystem.
+
+=head2 Installing Perl in OS/400 PASE
+
+If you are compiling on AIX, simply do a "make install" on the AIX box.
+Once the install finishes, tar up the /QOpenSys/perl directory. Transfer
+the tarball to the OS/400 using FTP with the following commands:
+
+ > binary
+ > site namefmt 1
+ > put perl.tar /QOpenSys
+
+Once you have it on, simply bring up a PASE shell and extract the tarball.
+
+If you are compiling in PASE, then "make install" is the only thing you
+will need to do.
+
+The default path for perl binary is /QOpenSys/perl/bin/perl. You'll
+want to symlink /QOpenSys/usr/bin/perl to this file so you don't have
+to modify your path.
+
+=head2 Using Perl in OS/400 PASE
+
+Perl in PASE may be used in the same manner as you would use Perl on AIX.
+
+Scripts starting with #!/usr/bin/perl should work if you have
+/QOpenSys/usr/bin/perl symlinked to your perl binary. This will not
+work if you've done a setuid/setgid or have environment variable
+PASE_EXEC_QOPENSYS="N". If you have V5R1, you'll need to get the
+latest PTFs to have this feature. Scripts starting with
+#!/QOpenSys/perl/bin/perl should always work.
+
+=head2 Perl on ILE
+
+There exists a port of Perl to the ILE environment. This port, however,
+is based quite an old release of Perl, Perl 5.00502 (August 1998).
+(As of July 2002 the latest release of Perl is 5.8.0, and even 5.6.1
+has been out since April 2001.) If you need to run Perl on ILE, though,
+you may need this older port: http://www.cpan.org/ports/#os400
+Note that any Perl release later than 5.00502 has not been ported to ILE.
+
+If you need to use Perl in the ILE environment, you may want to consider
+using Qp2RunPase() to call the PASE version of Perl.
