Perl installed by default? - AIX

jbeaudry · #1 04-12-2006

Hi all,

I wanted to know if Perl comes installed by default on AIX 5.2 and 5.3. I know it's available through the Linux affinity toolbox, but couldn't figure out if it's installed by default along with the RPM (rpm.rte). Does anyone know for sure?

Thanks,
JP

Yes, PERL comes by default with AIX 5.2 and 5.3

please use command on command prompt "which perl" it will show you where perl packages are imported

Thanks for the answer.

I am aware that the 'which' command will tell me where the perl executable is installed. But I'm looking at a server that was setup by someone else and I don't know whether they've install any of the toolbox packages. Therefore I cannot assume I'm looking at a pristine AIX install. Hence the question.

FWIW.... the command --> lslpp -l 'perl*' <-- will also give you an idea what perl packages (if any) are installed.
