perl(1)perl(1)NAMEperl - 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 function‐
ality 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 direc‐
tories /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 direc‐
tory 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: MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/share/doclib/annex/man export
MANPATH setenv MANPATH `echo $MANPATH`:/usr/share/doclib/annex/man
Case 2 -- If no, enter the following command to set the MANPATH:
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 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 informa‐
tion 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.
