Merijn's HP-UX software for ITRC members

Please use perl.org for perl/gcc downloads!

Latest updates

→ 2019-04-26 perl-5.28.2 builds are now available
→ 2018-09-18 openssl-1.0.2o for HP-UX 11.31
→ 2018-01-22 wget-1.19.3 for HP-UX 11.31 and 11.23

This page with info and software for the HP-UX Forum users, gathered and compiled by H.Merijn (procura) can be found on www.hpux.ws kindly provided by Steven E. Protter, perl.org kindly provided by the nice people at perl.org, who take donations here, nluug.nl kindly provided by the Dutch Unix User Group, and on my own site here.
Now that the site has grown to a whopping 13 Gb, 1500+ files, and a throughput of about 72 Gb each month on average, we should be extremely grateful for the space and bandwidth provided by these nice people.

Special thanks go out to Clemens van Everdingen who kindly provided the space and bandwith for the primary mirror for the first 15 years. Very much appreciated!

When bookmarking this site, please use either the perl.org link or the nluug.nl link, since these have a much higher bandwidth available than the other four.

I'll just keep it to these pages, and hope it will suffice. Though I notice that the main page gets longer and longer. I have split it into sections and pages already, but might split up more in the near future. Please ask questions on the forum as others will then also read the solutions given. My own mail address can be found at the bottom of this page.

It is unavoidable, yet quite natural, that the site will appear differently styled to various users. That is because software is imperfect, and some applications are better than others. I do not support any browser. I chose to follow the path of web standards. The more conformant your software is, the better it will be at rendering my site.
That is why this page is best viewed with Opera, Chrome, Vivaldi, Firefox. Konqueror, Safari, Mozilla, Epiphany, K-meleon, and even Amaya. Lynx, or w3m should be safe. When using M$-IE, expect blue screens (but you expect those anyway). I considered setting this page as navy on purple for M$-IE users to discourage it's use, but decided against it, as you obviously already have one problem too many ☺
Consider HP Porting Center for other software or more recent updates. Keep in mind that it is very likely that they only have 32bit depots available :(.

Perl

Introductions to Perl

For those that are not (yet) comfortable with Perl, Wendy van Dijk has put up a nice article on use.perl.org titled "Where and how to start learning Perl".

Learning perl can also be made easy by using tutorials. These can be found on http://perl-tutorial.org/.

Distributions

Here are binary perl distributions for versions 5.8.0 through 5.22.0 prepared for Oracle (meaning that you should be able to build DBD::Oracle using this perl, but that it is not included in these builds) built with GNU gcc. HP C-ANSI-C builds on request, but you should be able to do these yourself. There are also statistics on perl downloads.

As by accidental mistake, I have built all 5.8.7 and 5.8.8 distributions with -DPERL_DONT_CREATE_GVSV. This can cause a binary incompatibility (but is was said by insiders that the chance on that is actually close to zero), and also may cause some modules to misbehave. A report was sent, that proved that e.g. the module version does not behave correctly. I apologize for any inconvenience caused by this, and have put new 5.8.8 build up that not suffer this flaw. Choose carefully.

The perl-5.8.2 .. perl-5.8.9 series are built with defined-or integrated. This feature is standard in perl-5.10.x and up;
The 64bit up to 5.8.4 have some test problems with Date::Calc. These were passed on to their maintainers. This proved to be a bug in GNU gcc's optimizer. In newer perls these problems do no occur anymore;
No SSL and XML stuff in 11.00/64, 11.11/32, 11.23/32 and 11.31/32, because I don't have matching libraries. The HP Porting center has told me that they are awaiting new hardware, which will enable them to ship 64bit packages, but I still don't see them;
As of 5.8.7, SSL and XML stuff is included in the 10.20 builds, but expat and OpenSSL are expected to be installed for this to work;
Tk is now 804.030, which builds out of the box now on HP-UX 11.00. Tk-TreeGraph now included after the author has fixed the code to match the standards;
As of 5.16.3, I ship threaded perl on i64, as the performance impact has been drastically reduced;
As of 5.28.2, I just ship 64bit builds;

Jarkko Hietaniemi also runs a site for CPAN with the links to perl binaries for HP and other Operating Systems.

My builds are different from the default HP distribution. I've included a different set of (IMHO) useful modules (versions might vary across the different builds). Some of these come as default in the CORE set of modules, others are fetched from CPAN. The versions mentioned in the table are just a guide of where I started choosing modules to include. The actual versions included are the versions that are current at the moment I release:

There's no guarantee I didn't throw in one or two other useful modules that are not listed. And some modules might not be buildable in 64bit perl for whatever reason. You'll have to find out yourself. One way to see what is included in the build is:

  # export PATH=/opt/perl64/bin:$PATH
  # perldoc perllocal

To see the actual installed version of a module (if available):

  # perl -MV=Some::Module
  # perl -MV=Tk,Text::CSV_XS

If there proves to be need for extra modules that sometimes prove hard to be built, like Tk, I might add them here.

Installation

Install from compressed archives

To install it, do something similar to:

  # cd /opt
  # bzip2 -d </tmp/perl-5.8.3-gcc-3.3.2-11.00-elf64-ora.tbz | tar xvf -

And add /opt/perl64/bin to your $PATH, preferably in /etc/PATH, but be sure to put it before /usr/contrib/bin, where old perls might live.

Install from Software Depots

As of medio March 2005, I ship my distributions as software depots the way HP's porting center ships them. The depot will contain both the 32bit and the 64bit build if the architecture supports both. In a depot, you can force the destination folder, and swinstall registers the installed software, which has obviously some advantages. To install it, use something similar to:

  # bzip2 -d /tmp/perl-5.24.0-11.31.sd.bz
  # swinstall -s /tmp/perl-5.24.0-11.31.sd perl

which will install both 32bit perl (in /opt/perl32) and 64bit perl (in /opt/perl64), but it will not alter /etc/PATH as I cannot predict which version you are going to use by default. If you prefer to install only one of the two versions:

  # swinstall -s /tmp/perl-5.24.0-11.31.sd perl.perl5-32
  # swinstall -s /tmp/perl-5.24.0-11.31.sd perl.perl5-64

Since there is no need for the files to be of any specific user, I did not set it to a specific user ID. Just for housekeeping, you might want to consider 'chown -R root:sys /opt/perl*' after installation.

Installing or updating modules from CPAN

Installing modules is most easily done using cpan, the command line interface to CPAN:

  # cpan Moose Text::CSV_XS

Will install Moose (including all its dependencies in the correct order), and update Text::CSV_XS. Note that in order to install XS modules, you will need the matching C compiler installed.

Statistics

ITRC Statistics

ITRC forum statistics ended on 22 June 2011 as the forum moved to an inferior new passport controlled site.

Site statistics

And I've collected some stats from the mirrors, which shows that I'm fulfilling the need of at least a few people with these pages ☺

The develooper mirror provided me statistics on a daily basis by e-mail up to early Nov 2013. A reorganization disabled statistics.

Beepz hasn't been accessible for ages, so I removed the links.

As throughput of most sites is up so high nowadays that logs tend to grow beyond what the providers are willing to analyse for individual users, the download stats are not updated as of May 2015.

Development

All builds and ports are developed locally on the machines available:

HP 9000/rx2800/4, HP-UX 11.31 (previously a rx2660/2)
HP 9000/rx1620/2, HP-UX 11.23
HP 9000/L1500-7x/1, HP-UX 11.23
HP 9000/rp3410/2, HP-UX 11.11
HP 9000/rp2470/2, HP-UX 11.00 (disk died beyond repair)
HP 9000/D390/1, HP-UX 10.20 (system died, demolished)

All using both the latest available HP C-ANSI-C compiler and/or the GNU gcc C compiler installed (probably a relative recent port).

As our last pre-11.23 customers are now upgrading to 11.31 or Linux, the 10.20 and 11.00 machines are just used for tests and porting. When they die, they won't be fixed or replaced. Urgent calls have to hurry. The same might happen to the 11.11 machine once there are no customers left to service from it.

Don't worry about existing stuff. I will not remove what's already here. But when bitrot breaks existing downloads, I won't be able to replace them.

The Download section has moved to a separate page.
