Perl 5.8.8 licensing issues
I have a question about the perl license on Solaris machine. The scenario is we have perl 5.6.1 installed on Solaris server. Our developers are planning to use a module which is not installed on the server. We did search CPAN website and found some availability matrix
CPAN Testers Matrix: OLE-Storage_Lite 0.19. This availability matrix indicates that the OLE StorageLite.pm perl module is not available with Perl 5.6.1 version, but it is available with Perl 5.8.8 version. I am not sure, if the sysadmin can upgrade to the perl version 5.8.8 after doing all the impact analysis. do we need to purchase license to install 5.8.8
Please help Thank you very much in advance

Hi Guys,
Can someone please give me an introduction with hp-ux licensing?
Is the licensing per user or per cpu or both? How do you push it on the server? Or is it included in the hardware price.

TRUNCATE(1) User Commands TRUNCATE(1)
NAME
truncate - shrink or extend the size of a file to the specified size
SYNOPSIS
truncate OPTION... FILE...
DESCRIPTION
Shrink or extend the size of each FILE to the specified size
A FILE argument that does not exist is created.
If a FILE is larger than the specified size, the extra data is lost. If a FILE is shorter, it is extended and the extended part (hole)
reads as zero bytes.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
-c, --no-create
do not create any files
-o, --io-blocks
treat SIZE as number of IO blocks instead of bytes
-r, --reference=RFILE
base size on RFILE
-s, --size=SIZE
set or adjust the file size by SIZE bytes
--help display this help and exit
--version
output version information and exit
SIZE is an integer and optional unit (example: 10M is 10*1024*1024). Units are K, M, G, T, P, E, Z, Y (powers of 1024) or KB, MB, ...
(powers of 1000).
SIZE may also be prefixed by one of the following modifying characters: '+' extend by, '-' reduce by, '<' at most, '>' at least, '/' round
down to multiple of, '%' round up to multiple of.
