HP porting centre tries to keep up with customer demand and release
updates from the Open Source community. Having precompiled Perl binaries
available is obvious, though "up-to-date" is something relative. At the

-latest stable release from the porters point of view).

chips, but any machine with this chip in it is quite obsolete and this

because shared libraries created on an Itanium system cannot be loaded
while running a PA-RISC executable.
