       perl - Practical Extraction and Report Language

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The perl software is unsupported software that is provided
       as part of Tru64 UNIX.   We  will  fix  problems  in  this
       unsupported  software  only  if they are specific to Tru64
       UNIX.  We will not fix problems that are integral  to  the
       software  itself  or that occur when the component is used
       on UNIX systems other than Tru64 UNIX.  We  will  not  add
       functionality to this software.

       Except for this reference page, other reference pages that
       Tru64 UNIX supplies for perl are  passed  through  without
       changes.   The reference pages distributed as part of this
       software    are    available    in     the     directories
       /usr/share/doclib/annex/man/man[1-9].  You should use this
       directory stem in the man command or add it to the MANPATH
       environment  variable to make these files available to the
       man command.

                                  Note

       We are not responsible for the content or quality of  reference
  pages  and  other  documents  installed  under the
       /usr/share/doclib/annex directory and do not  revise  this
       material  in  response to customer problem reports. Reference
 pages installed under the /usr/share/doclib/annex/man
       directory  are  not  available  from  us in book form; for
       example, they are not included in  the  reference  manuals
       that  you receive when you order the Tru64 UNIX documentation
 set as hard copy books.

       Problems related to the content or quality of any documentation
  installed in the /usr/share/doclib/annex directory
       tree should be sent to the developers  of  the  documentation.


       To  access  the perl manpages, you could explicitly change
       the search path with the man  command  or  modify  MANPATH
       definitions accordingly.

       The  format for changing the search path with the man command
  is:  man  -P  /usr/share/doclib/annex/man  [section]
       title...

       MODIFYING  MANPATH  DEFINITIONS:  First check if a MANPATH
       has already been defined.  Case 1 --  If  yes,  enter  the
       following   command   to  modify  your  environment:  MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/share/doclib/annex/man
  export  MANPATH
       setenv MANPATH `echo $MANPATH`:/usr/share/doclib/annex/man

              Case 2 -- If no, enter the following command to set
              the                  MANPATH:                  MANPATH=/usr/share/doclib/annex/man:/usr/share/%L/man:

              \
                      /usr/share/man:/usr/dt/share/%L/man: \
                      /usr/dt/share/man:/usr/local/man     export
              MANPATH setenv MANPATH /usr/share/doclib/annex/man:
              \
                             /usr/share/%L/man:/usr/share/man: \
                             /usr/dt/share/%L/man:/usr/dt/share/man:
              \
                             /usr/local/man


       See the reference pages for the man(1) command  for  additional
  information  on  the  search  path  used to locate
       files.

       The reference pages associated with this product  are  not
       included  in  the  whatis  data base created by the catman
       command.  Therefore, the man -k and apropos commands  will
       not locate reference pages included with this product.
