NAME

  perl - Practical Extraction and Report Language


DESCRIPTION

  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:

       Bourne, Korn, or POSIX shell users
		    MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/share/doclib/annex/man
		    export MANPATH

       C shell users
		    setenv MANPATH `echo $MANPATH`:/usr/share/doclib/annex/man

    ·  Case 2 -- If no, enter the following command to set the MANPATH:

       Bourne, Korn, or POSIX shell users
		    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

       C shell users
		    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.
