Perl installed by default?

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

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.
