Rebuilt to be compatible with mod_perl. If you plan on |
| |
|
42 |
using mod_perl, you MUST download and install |
| |
|
43 |
this version of Perl/iX! |
| |
|
44 |
|
| |
|
45 |
|
| |
|
46 |
bincompat5005=``undef'': sorry, but you will have to |
| |
|
47 |
recompile any binary 5.005 extensions that you may be using |
| |
|
48 |
(if any; there is no 5.005 code in what you download from |
| |
|
49 |
bixby.org) uselargefiles=``undef'': not available in |
| |
|
50 |
MPE for POSIX files yet. |

Now bundled with various add-on |
| |
|
54 |
packages: |
| |
|
55 |
|
| |
|
56 |
|
| |
|
57 |
libnet |
| |
|
58 |

|
| |
|

|
| |
|
61 |
libwww-perl ( LWP ) which lets Perl programs |
| |
|
62 |
behave like web browsers: |
| |
|
63 |
|
| |
|
64 |
|
| |
|
65 |
1. #!/PERL/PUB/perl |
| |

66 |
2. use LWP::Simple; |
| |
|
67 |
3. $doc = get('http://www.bixby.org/mark/perlix.html'); # reads the |
| |
|
68 |
web page into variable $doc |

mod_perl (just the perl portion; the actual DSO |
| |
|
73 |
will be released soon with Apache/iX 1.3.12 from |
| |
|
74 |
bixby.org). This module allows you to write high performance |
| |
|
75 |
persistent Perl CGI scripts and all sorts of cool |
| |
|
76 |
things. (http://perl.apache.org/) |
| |

88 |
1. export FTP_PASSIVE=1 |
| |

2. perl -MCPAN -e shell |
| |
|
90 |
3. Ignore any terminal I/O related complaints! |

Updated to version 5.6.0. Builds straight out of the |
| |
|
98 |
box on MPE/iX. |
| |
|
99 |
|
| |
|
100 |
|
| |
|
101 |
Perl's ''getpwnam()'' function which had regressed |
| |
|
102 |
to being unimplemented on MPE is now implemented |
| |
|
103 |
once again. |

113 |
This is the official home page for the HP |
| |
|
114 |
e3000 MPE/iX (http://www.businessservers.hp.com/) port |
| |
|
115 |
of the Perl scripting language (http://www.perl.com/) which |
| |
|
116 |
gives you all of the power of C, awk, sed, and sh in a |
| |
|
117 |
single language. Check here for the latest news, implemented |
| |
|
118 |
functionality, known bugs, to-do list, etc. Status reports |
| |
|
119 |
about major milestones will also be posted to the |
| |
|
120 |
HP3000-L mailing list |

| |
|
122 |
|
| |
|
123 |
|
| |
|
124 |
I'm doing this port because I can't live without Perl |
| |
|
125 |
on the Unix machines that I administer, and I want to have |
| |
|
126 |
the same power available to me on MPE |
| |
|
127 |
. |
| |
|
128 |
|
| |
|
129 |
|
| |
|
130 |
Please send your comments, questions, and bug reports |
| |
|
131 |
directly to me, Mark Bixby (http://www.bixby.org/mark/), by |
| |
|
132 |
e-mailing to mark@bixby.org. Or just post them to |

HP3000-L . |
| |
|
134 |
|
| |
|
135 |
|
| |
|
136 |
The platform I'm using to do this port is an HP |
| |
|
137 |
3000 957RX running MPE/iX 6.0 and using the GNU |
| |
|
138 |
gcc C compiler |
| |
|
139 |
(http://jazz.external.hp.com/src/gnu/gnuframe.html). |
| |
|
140 |
|
| |
|
141 |
|
| |
|
142 |
The combined porting wisdom from all of my ports can be |
| |
|
143 |
found in my MPE/iX Porting Guide |
| |
|
144 |
(http://www.bixby.org/mark/porting.html). |

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Yes, I do work for the HP CSY |
| |
|
148 |
R ALL of the software you |
| |
|
149 |
download from bixby.org is my personal freeware that |
| |
|
150 |
is NOT supported by HP |

!!System Requirements |
| |
|
153 |
|
| |
|
154 |
|
| |
|
155 |
MPE/iX 5.5 or later. This version of Perl/iX does |
| |
|
156 |
NOT run on MPE/iX 5.0 or earlier, nor does it run on |
| |
|
157 |
``classic'' MPE/V machines. |
| |
|
158 |
|
| |
|
159 |
|
| |
|
160 |
If you wish to recompile Perl, you must install |
| |
|
161 |
both GNUCORE and GNUGCC from jazz |
| |
|
162 |
(http://jazz.external.hp.com/src/gnu/gnuframe.html). |
| |
|
163 |
|
| |
|
164 |
|
| |
|
165 |
Perl/iX will be happier on MPE/iX 5.5 if you install |
| |
|
166 |
the MPEKX40B extended POSIX filename |
| |
|
167 |
characters patch, but this is optional. |
| |
|
168 |
|
| |
|
169 |
|
| |
|
170 |
Patch LBCJXT6A is required on MPE/iX 5.5 |
| |
|
171 |
machines in order to prevent Perl/iX from dying with an |
| |
|
172 |
unresolved external reference to |
| |
|
173 |
_getenv_libc. |
| |
|
174 |
|
| |
|
175 |
|
| |
|
176 |
If you will be compiling Perl/iX yourself, you will |
| |
|
177 |
also need Syslog/iX |
| |
|
178 |
(http://www.bixby.org/mark/syslogix.html) and the |
| |
|
179 |
/BIND/PUB/include and /BIND/PUB/lib portions of BIND/iX |
| |
|
180 |
(http://www.bixby.org/mark/bindix.html). |

212 |
Convert your *.a system archive libraries to *.sl |
| |
|
213 |
shared libraries |
| |
|
214 |
|
| |
|
215 |
|
| |
|
216 |
Download Perl using FTP .ARPA.SYS from |
| |
|
217 |
your HP 3000 (the preferred |
| |
|
218 |
method)..... |
| |
|
219 |
|
| |
|
220 |
|
| |
|
221 |
:HELLO MANAGER.SYS |
| |
|

| |
|
230 |
.....Or download using some other generic web or ftp client (the alternate method) |
| |
|
231 |
|
| |
|
232 |
|
| |
|
233 |
Download the following files (make sure that you use |
| |
|
234 |
``binary mode'' or whatever client feature that is 8-bit |
| |
|
235 |
clean): |
| |
|
236 |
|
| |
|
237 |
|
| |
|
238 |
Perl from |
| |
|
239 |
|
| |
|
240 |
|
| |
|
241 |
http://www.bixby.org/ftp/pub/mpe/perl-5.6.0-mpe.tar.Z |
| |
|
242 |
or |
| |
|
243 |
|
| |
|
244 |
|
| |
|
245 |
ftp://ftp.bixby.org/pub/mpe/perl-5.6.0-mpe.tar.Z |
| |
|
246 |
|
| |
|
247 |
|
| |
|
248 |
Upload those files to your HP 3000 in an |
| |
|
249 |
8-bit clean bytestream manner to: |
| |
|
250 |
|
| |
|
251 |
|
| |
|
252 |
/tmp/perl.tar.Z |
| |
|
253 |
|
| |
|
254 |
|
| |
|
255 |
Then extract the installation script (after both |
| |
|
256 |
download methods) |
| |
|
257 |
|
| |
|
258 |
|
| |
|
259 |
:CHDIR /tmp |
| |
|
260 |
:XEQ TAR.HPBIN.SYS 'xvfopz /tmp/perl.tar.Z INSTALL' |
| |
|
261 |
|
| |
|
262 |
|
| |
|
263 |
Edit the installation script |
| |
|
264 |
|
| |
|
265 |
|
| |
|
266 |
Examine the accounting structure creation commands and |
| |
|
267 |
modify if necessary (adding additional capabilities, |
| |
|
268 |
choosing a non-system volume set, etc). |
| |
|
269 |
|
| |
|
270 |
|
| |
|
271 |
:XEQ VI.HPBIN.SYS /tmp/INSTALL |
| |
|
272 |
|
| |
|
273 |
|
| |
|
274 |
Run the installation script. |
| |
|
275 |
|
| |
|
276 |
|
| |
|
277 |
The accounting structure will be created and then all |
| |
|
278 |
files will be extracted from the archive. |
| |
|
279 |
|
| |
|
280 |
|
| |
|
281 |
:XEQ SH.HPBIN.SYS /tmp/INSTALL |
| |
|
282 |
|
| |
|
283 |
|
| |
|
284 |
Convert your *.a system archive libraries to *.sl |
| |
|
285 |
shared libraries |
| |
|
286 |
|
| |
|
287 |
|
| |
|
288 |
You only have to do this ONCE on your MPE/iX |
| |
|
289 |
5.5 machine in order to convert /lib/lib*.a and |
| |
|
290 |
/usr/lib/lib*.a libraries to their *.sl equivalents. This |
| |
|
291 |
step should not be necessary on MPE/iX 6.0 or later machines |
| |
|
292 |
because the 6.0 or later update process does it for |
| |
|
293 |
you. |

!!Getting Started with Perl/iX |
| |
|
432 |
|
| |
|
433 |
|
| |
|
434 |
Create your Perl script files with ``#!/PERL/PUB/perl'' |
| |
|
435 |
(or an equivalent symbolic link) as the first line. Use the |
| |
|
436 |
chmod command to make sure that your script has execute |
| |
|
437 |
permission. Run your script! |
| |
|
438 |
|
| |
|
439 |
|
| |
|
440 |
Be sure to take a look at the CPAN module |
| |
|
441 |
list (http://www.cpan.org/CPAN.html). A wide variety of free |
| |
|
442 |
Perl software is available. You can automatically download |
| |
|
443 |
these packages by using the CPAN module |
| |
|
444 |
(http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/CPAN/data/perl/CPAN.html). |

!!MPE/iX Implementation Considerations |
| |
|
446 |
|
| |
|
447 |
|
| |
|
448 |
There some minor functionality issues to be aware of |
| |
|
449 |
when comparing Perl for Unix (Perl/UX) to |
| |
|
450 |
Perl/iX: |
| |
|
451 |
|
| |
|
452 |
|
| |
|
453 |
MPE gcc/ld doesn't properly support linking NMPRG |
| |
|
454 |
executables against NMXL dynamic libraries, |
| |
|
455 |
so you must manually run mpeix/relink after each re-build of |
| |
|
456 |
Perl. |
| |
|
457 |
|
| |
|
458 |
|
| |
|
459 |
Perl/iX File::Copy will use MPE 's /bin/cp |
| |
|
460 |
command to copy files by name in order to preserve file |
| |
|
461 |
attributes like file code. |
| |
|
462 |
|
| |
|
463 |
|
| |
|
464 |
MPE (and thus Perl/iX) lacks support for |
| |
|
465 |
''setgrent()'', ''endgrent()'', ''setpwent()'', |
| |
|
466 |
''endpwent()''. |
| |
|
467 |
|
| |
|
468 |
|
| |
|
469 |
MPE (and thus Perl/iX) lacks support for hard |
| |
|
470 |
links. |
| |
|
471 |
|
| |
|
472 |
|
| |
|
473 |
MPE requires ''GETPRIVMODE ()'' |
| |
|
474 |
in order to ''bind()'' to ports less than 1024. |
| |
|
475 |
Perl/iX will call ''GETPRIVMODE ()'' |
| |
|
476 |
automatically on your behalf if you attempt to |
| |
|
477 |
''bind()'' to these low-numbered ports. Note that the |
| |
|
478 |
Perl/iX executable and the PERL account do not |
| |
|
479 |
normally have CAP=PM, so if you will be ''bind()''-ing to |
| |
|
480 |
these privileged ports, you will manually need to add |
| |
|
481 |
PM capability as appropriate. |
| |
|
482 |
|
| |
|
483 |
|
| |
|
484 |
MPE requires that you ''bind()'' to an IP |
| |
|
485 |
address of zero. Perl/iX automatically replaces |
| |
|
486 |
the IP address that you pass to ''bind()'' |
| |
|
487 |
with a zero. |
| |
|
488 |
|
| |
|
489 |
|
| |
|
490 |
If you use Perl/iX ''fcntl()'' against a socket it |
| |
|
491 |
will fail, because MPE requires that you use |
| |
|
492 |
''sfcntl()'' instead. Perl/iX does not presently support |
| |
|
493 |
''sfcntl()''. |
| |
|
494 |
|
| |
|
495 |
|
| |
|
496 |
MPE requires ''GETPRIVMODE ()'' |
| |
|
497 |
in order to ''setuid()''. There are too many calls |
| |
|
498 |
to ''setuid()'' within Perl/iX, so I have not attempted |
| |
|
499 |
an automatic ''GETPRIVMODE ()'' |
| |
|
500 |
solution similar to ''bind()''. |
| |
|
501 |
!!Known Bugs Under Investigation |
| |
|
502 |
|
| |
|
503 |
|
| |
|
504 |
None. |
| |
|
505 |
!!To-Do List |
| |
|
506 |
|
| |
|
507 |
|
| |
|
508 |
Make ''setuid()''/''setgid()'' support |
| |
|
509 |
work. |
| |
|
510 |
|
| |
|
511 |
|
| |
|
512 |
Make sure that ''fcntl()'' against a socket |
| |
|
513 |
descriptor is redirected to |
| |
|
514 |
''sfcntl()''. |
| |
|
515 |
|
| |
|
516 |
|
| |
|
517 |
Add support for Berkeley DB once I've |
| |
|
518 |
finished porting Berkeley DB . |
| |
|
519 |
|
| |
|
520 |
|
| |
|
521 |
Write an MPE XS extension library containing |
| |
|
522 |
miscellaneous important MPE functions like |
| |
|
523 |
''GETPRIVMODE ()'', ''GETUSERMODE |
| |
|
524 |
()'', and |
| |
|
525 |
''sfcntl()''. |
