Updated Perl
« on: August 30, 2020, 05:02:13 am »
Hi All,

I discovered that openssl 1.1.1 uses Perl to configure/build - and with Steven's help, had to make some fixes to Perl/2

After getting openssl 1.1.1 building, I figured I should try and update Perl - the result is http://smedley.id.au/tmp/perl-5.32.0-os2-20200830.zip

Feedback appreciated - only tested enough to build openssl 1.1.1

Cheers,

Paul

Thank you very much Paul for this port.

I don't know much about Perl, but is someone with more experience want to let me know which perl scripts they like to run on OS/2-ArcaOS, please let me know to try to learn more about it.

By the way, reading about it, It seems that Perl 6 was renamed to Raku.
