Activeperl

Installing ActivePerl for macOS You can install the macOS package using the standard user interface, or by using the command line.Before you beginBefore you start the installation, you need to ensure that your system meets the prerequisites, and that you do not have other Perl distributions installed that might conflict with ActivePerl.PrerequisitesHardware: 200 MB hard disk spaceOperating System: macOS 10.9 “Mavericks” or laterInstalling with PackageActivePerl is distributed on macOS as an installer package (.pkg bundle).Download the ActivePerl installer package (ActivePerl-.pkg) from the ActiveState Platform.Double-click the ActivePerl installer package(ActivePerl-.pkg) to start the installation.Follow the Installer prompts. The installer will ask for administrative authentication if the current user does not have administrative privileges.macOS includes a non-interactive command line interface to Apple’sInstaller you can use to install ActivePerl from the commandline:Download the ActivePerl installer package (ActivePerl-.pkg) from the ActiveState platform.Open Terminal and run Installer using the following syntax:$ sudo installer -pkg /Users//Downloads/ActivePerl-.pkg -target /Note: It is sometimes useful to create an install log file (e.g. to send to ActiveState technical support).To do this, use the -verbose and -dumplog flags:$ sudo installer -pkg /Users//Downloads/ActivePerl-.pkg \-target / -verbose -dumplog > install.log 2>&1More information on the command line interface to Installer can be found by entering man installer in Terminal.macOS ConfigurationThe macOS Installer package installs ActivePerl in /usr/local/ActivePerl-5.32. To run the perl interpreter without having to enter the full path, you need to add /usr/local/ActivePerl-5.32/bin to your PATH environment variable. For example:export PATH=/usr/local/ActivePerl-5.32/bin:$PATHexport PATH=/usr/local/ActivePerl-5.32/site/bin:$PATHTo permanently add the directory to your PATH, add it to the .profile or .bash_profile file in your home directory. For example:PATH=/usr/local/ActivePerl-5.32/bin:$PATHPATH=/usr/local/ActivePerl-5.32/site/bin:$PATHexport PATHAlternatively, you can create symbolic links to the binaries in any bin directory in your PATH to run the perl executables without entering the full path. For example, you could add a bin subdirectory in your home directory to your PATH and create symbolic links:$ mkdir /Users//bin:$PATH$ ln -s /usr/local/ActivePerl-5.32/bin/perl /Users//bin/perlVerify that you are pointing to the correct ActivePerl executables by entering perl --version.Uninstalling ActivePerl on macOSApple does not provide a standard uninstallation tool or mechanism. You may,however, use the uninstall script that comes with ActivePerlto uninstall ActivePerl:$ sudo /usr/local/ActivePerl-5.32/bin/ap-uninstallIf necessary,

Millions of developers trust Perl for computational and integration tasks: system administration, scripting, running database applications, and more. As an open source programming language, Perl immediately reduces up-front project costs.Like most open source projects, Perl isn’t quality assured or commercially supported so the open source version of Perl may not be safe for business- or mission-critical applications.Don’t let Perl fail your systems and cost your business in lost revenue. CA and Siemens are just a few Fortune 1000 companies that trust ActiveState’s ActivePerl for development, management and distribution solutions for worry-free Perl.ActiveState offers these solutions for Perl development:ActivePerlKomodo IDE for PerlActivePerl: The World’s Best Perl DistributionActivePerl is the industry-standard, commercial-grade Perl distribution used by millions of developers around the world for easy Perl installation and quality-assured code. Whether you’re using Perl for mission-critical applications or open source projects, ActivePerl offers worry-free implementation and significant time savings over open source Perl for installing and managing common Perl modules.

Thomas Tyler Updated to latest available Perl (5.22.1.2201), P4Perl (2014.1),Python (3.5.1), and P4Python (2015.2).Tweaked temp working dirs to distinguish Perl from Python dir.These are tested on CentOS 7.2. This may not work with olderCentOS boxes, but we can't do much about that since ActiveStatehas deprecated the older ActivePerl releases. #8 16870 C. Thomas Tyler Updated to ActivePerl 5.20.3.2003, as 5.18 is no longer availableon ActiveState.com.UPDATE 2016/-1/21 ttyler: I moved the checkout to the 'dev' branchinstead of the 'main' branch, so I'm filing a new review andclosing the old one. #7 16832 Robert Cowham Update p4perl versions from 5.18 which is no longer available on ActiveState site to public.declare PerlRel=5.22.1.2201declare GLibcVer=glibc-2.15-299574#review-16833 @ttyler @rjackson #6 16563 C.

Thomas Tyler Modified install_sdp_python and install_sdp_perl to use independentdonwloads directories, since each may need to build with a separateversion of the core Perforce C++ API. For example, presentlyP4Python 2015.1 builds with 2015.1 of the API, why P4Perl 2014.1uses the 2014.1 API.Moved version ID near the top of the file.Updated default versions for utilities to install. #2 12028 C.

Thomas Tyler Added script to build and install ActivePerl and P4Perl to standardSDP location, /p4/common/perl.Corresponding updates to p4_vars.template:* Added PERLHOME and PYHOME vars.* Updated PATH and MANPATH.
