Installation kits for OpenVMS Alpha and OpenVMS I64 8.4 or later are now
available, and also a kit for the OpenVMS X86 E9.2 field test. Files
can be downloaded from:
<https://sourceforge.net/projects/vmsperlkit/files/>
The Alpha and Itanium files are self-extracting archives and after
downloading to your VMS system you must run them like so:
$ run VMSPORTS-I64VMS-PERL534-V0534-1-1.SFX_I64EXE
Then:
$ product install perl534
The X86 self-extraction code is not yet up to snuff, so that PCSI kit is
contained in a simple zip file. You will need to use Info-Zip's unzip
utility provided with the field test to unzip like so before installing:
$ unzip == "$SYS$COMMON:[SYSHLP.UNSUPPORTED.UNZIP]unzip.exe"
$ unzip VMSPORTS-X86VMS-PERL534-T0534-1-1.zip
Note that OpenVMS X86 E9.2 comes with Perl 5.34.0 as part of the base
install and the kit here will overwrite that with Perl 5.34.1.
