    NAME

    perlamiga - Perl under Amiga OS
     
    

    NOTE

    Perl 5.8.0 cannot be built in AmigaOS. You can use either the maintenance release Perl 5.6.1 or the development release Perl 5.7.2 in AmigaOS. See ``PERL 5.8.0 BROKEN IN AMIGAOS'' if you want to help fixing this problem.  

    SYNOPSIS

    One can read this document in the following formats:

            man perlamiga
            multiview perlamiga.guide
    
    

    to list some (not all may be available simultaneously), or it may be read as is: either as README.amiga, or pod/perlamiga.pod.

    A recent version of perl for the Amiga can be found at the Geek Gadgets section of the Aminet:

          http://www.aminet.net/~aminet/dev/gg/index.html
    
    
     

    DESCRIPTION

     

    Prerequisites for Compiling Perl on AmigaOS

    Unix emulation for AmigaOS: ixemul.library
    You need the Unix emulation for AmigaOS, whose most important part is ixemul.library. For a minimum setup, get the latest versions of the following packages from the Aminet archives ( http://www.aminet.net/~aminet/ ):

            ixemul-bin
            ixemul-env-bin
            pdksh-bin
    
    

    Note also that this is a minimum setup; you might want to add other packages of ADE (the Amiga Developers Environment).

    Version of Amiga OS
    You need at the very least AmigaOS version 2.0. Recommended is version 3.1.
     

    Starting Perl programs under AmigaOS

    Start your Perl program foo with arguments "arg1 arg2 arg3" the same way as on any other platform, by

            perl foo arg1 arg2 arg3
    
    

    If you want to specify perl options "-my_opts" to the perl itself (as opposed to your program), use

            perl -my_opts foo arg1 arg2 arg3
    
    

    Alternately, you can try to get a replacement for the system's Execute command that honors the #!/usr/bin/perl syntax in scripts and set the s-Bit of your scripts. Then you can invoke your scripts like under UNIX with

            foo arg1 arg2 arg3
    
    

    (Note that having *nixish full path to perl /usr/bin/perl is not necessary, perl would be enough, but having full path would make it easier to use your script under *nix.)  

    Shortcomings of Perl under AmigaOS

    Perl under AmigaOS lacks some features of perl under UNIX because of deficiencies in the UNIX-emulation, most notably:
    *
    fork()
    *
    some features of the UNIX filesystem regarding link count and file dates
    *
    inplace operation (the -i switch) without backup file
    *
    umask() works, but the correct permissions are only set when the file is finally close()d
     

    INSTALLATION

    Change to the installation directory (most probably ADE:), and extract the binary distribution:

    lha -mraxe x perl-$VERSION-bin.lha

    or

    tar xvzpf perl-$VERSION-bin.tgz

    (Of course you need lha or tar and gunzip for this.)

    For installation of the Unix emulation, read the appropriate docs.  

    Accessing documentation

     

    Manpages for Perl on AmigaOS

    If you have "man" installed on your system, and you installed perl manpages, use something like this:

            man perlfunc
            man less
            man ExtUtils.MakeMaker
    
    

    to access documentation for different components of Perl. Start with

            man perl
    
    

    Note: You have to modify your man.conf file to search for manpages in the /ade/lib/perl5/man/man3 directory, or the man pages for the perl library will not be found.

    Note that dot (.) is used as a package separator for documentation for packages, and as usual, sometimes you need to give the section - 3 above - to avoid shadowing by the less(1) manpage.  

    Perl HTML Documentation on AmigaOS

    If you have some WWW browser available, you can build HTML docs. Cd to directory with .pod files, and do like this

            cd /ade/lib/perl5/pod
            pod2html
    
    

    After this you can direct your browser the file perl.html in this directory, and go ahead with reading docs.

    Alternatively you may be able to get these docs prebuilt from "CPAN".  

    Perl GNU Info Files on AmigaOS

    Users of "Emacs" would appreciate it very much, especially with "CPerl" mode loaded. You need to get latest "pod2info" from "CPAN", or, alternately, prebuilt info pages.  

    Perl LaTeX Documentation on AmigaOS

    Can be constructed using "pod2latex".  

    BUILDING PERL ON AMIGAOS

    Here we discuss how to build Perl under AmigaOS.  

    Build Prerequisites for Perl on AmigaOS

    You need to have the latest ixemul (Unix emulation for Amiga) from Aminet.  

    Getting the Perl Source for AmigaOS

    You can either get the latest perl-for-amiga source from Ninemoons and extract it with:

      tar xvzpf perl-$VERSION-src.tgz
    
    

    or get the official source from CPAN:

      http://www.cpan.org/src/5.0
    
    

    Extract it like this

      tar xvzpf perl-$VERSION.tar.gz
    
    

    You will see a message about errors while extracting Configure. This is normal and expected. (There is a conflict with a similarly-named file configure, but it causes no harm.)  

    Making Perl on AmigaOS

    Remember to use a hefty wad of stack (I use 2000000)

      sh configure.gnu --prefix=/gg
    
    

    Now type

      make depend
    
    

    Now!

      make
    
    
     

    Testing Perl on AmigaOS

    Now run

      make test
    
    

    Some tests will be skipped because they need the fork() function:

    io/pipe.t, op/fork.t, lib/filehand.t, lib/open2.t, lib/open3.t, lib/io_pipe.t, lib/io_sock.t  

    Installing the built Perl on AmigaOS

    Run

      make install
    
    
     

    PERL 5.8.0 BROKEN IN AMIGAOS

    As told above, Perl 5.6.1 was still good in AmigaOS, as was 5.7.2. After Perl 5.7.2 (change #11423, see the Changes file, and the file pod/perlhack.pod for how to get the individual changes) Perl dropped its internal support for vfork(), and that was very probably the step that broke AmigaOS (since the ixemul library has only vfork). The build finally fails when the ext/DynaLoader is being built, and PERL ends up as ``0'' in the produced Makefile, trying to run ``0'' does not quite work. Also, executing miniperl in backticks seems to generate nothing: very probably related to the (v)fork problems. Fixing the breakage requires someone quite familiar with the ixemul library, and how one is supposed to run external commands in AmigaOS without fork().
