-Getting Started with Perl/iX
-
-Create your Perl script files with "#!/PERL/PUB/PERL" (or an equivalent
-symbolic link) as the first line. Use the chmod command to make sure that
-your script has execute permission. Run your script!
-
-If you want to use Perl to write web server CGI scripts, obtain and install
-CGI.pm. Build CGI.pm and all other add-on modules below /PERL/PUB/src/.
-
-Be sure to take a look at the CPAN module list. A wide variety of free Perl
-software is available.

-MPE/iX Implementation Considerations
-
-There some minor functionality issues to be aware of when comparing Perl
-for Unix (Perl/UX) to Perl/iX:
-
- * MPE gcc/ld doesn't properly support linking NMPRG executables against
- NMXL dynamic libraries, so you must manually run mpeix/relink after
- each re-build of Perl.
- * Perl/iX File::Copy will use MPE's /bin/cp command to copy files by
- name in order to preserve file attributes like file code.
- * MPE (and thus Perl/iX) lacks support for setgrent(), endgrent(),
- setpwent(), endpwent().
- * MPE (and thus Perl/iX) lacks support for hard links.
- * MPE requires GETPRIVMODE() in order to bind() to ports less than
- 1024. Perl/iX will call GETPRIVMODE() automatically on your behalf if
- you attempt to bind() to these low-numbered ports. Note that the
- Perl/iX executable and the PERL account do not normally have CAP=PM,
- so if you will be bind()-ing to these privileged ports, you will
- manually need to add PM capability as appropriate.
- * MPE requires that you bind() to an IP address of zero. Perl/iX
- automatically replaces the IP address that you pass to bind() with a
- zero.
- * If you use Perl/iX fcntl() against a socket it will fail, because MPE
- requires that you use sfcntl() instead. Perl/iX does not presently
- support sfcntl().
- * MPE requires GETPRIVMODE() in order to setuid(). There are too many
- calls to setuid() within Perl/iX, so I have not attempted an automatic
- GETPRIVMODE() solution similar to bind().
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Known Bugs Under Investigation
-
- * None
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-To-Do List
-
- * Make setuid()/setgid() support work.
- * Make sure that fcntl() against a socket descriptor is redirected to
- sfcntl().
- * Add support for Berkeley DB once I've finished porting Berkeley DB.
- * Write an MPE XS extension library containing miscellaneous important
- MPE functions like GETPRIVMODE(), GETUSERMODE(), and sfcntl().
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Change History
-
- * October 3, 1997
- o Added System Requirements section to the Perl/iX home page just
- so the prerequisites stand out more. Various other home page
- tweaks.
- * October 2, 1997
- o Initial public release.
- * September 1997
- o Porting begins.
