- Where ever you can get Perl, you can get Perl for the NeXT as it compiles
- straight out of the box. See below for a example location. (I assume you
- have the C compiler on the NeXT, don't you?)
-
- | and how big is it?
- The compressed tar file containing the Perl sources version 4.0.35 is
- appr. 1.5 Mbyte.

- --> How to get 'perl-sources' via anonymous FTP:
-
- Site: ftp.cs.ruu.nl [131.211.80.17]
- Login: "anonymous" or "ftp"
- Password: your own email address (you@your_domain)
- File: /pub/PERL/perl.tar.Z
-
-
- --> How to get 'perl-sources' via e-mail from our mail-server:
-
- NOTE: In the following I have assumed that your mail address is
- "fred_flintstone@stone.age.edu"; of course you must substitute
- your own address for this.
- ** PLEASE USE VALID DOMAIN ADDRESSES. DO NOT USE ADDRESSES **
- ** WITH ! and @ MIXED !!!! BITNETTERS USE USER@HOST.BITNET **
-
-
- Send the following message to
- mail-server@cs.ruu.nl
- or the old-fashioned path alternative
- uunet!mcsun!sun4nl!ruuinf!mail-server
-
-
- begin
- path fred_flintstone@stone.age.edu (SUBSTITUTE *YOUR* ADDRESS)
- send PERL/perl.tar.Z
- end
-
-
- The path command can be deleted if we receive a valid from address in your
- message. If this is the first time you use our mail server, we suggest you
- first issue the request:
-
- send HELP
-
-
- A complete "ls-lR" listing of the archive is kept in the top-level
- directory, it will be updated every night. To get it, issue the command:
-
- send ls-lR.Z
-
-
-
- That's all for now. If you encounter problems using the FTP service
- and/or the mail-server, feel free to drop me a line (by e-mail, please).
