or also perl in rpm format, from CD tool box (also downloadable from IBM
site) ..

You could try to compile perl yourself. I you haven't a C compiler, you
can get gcc from IBM. To compile perl 5.6.1 on AIX 5 you'll need
to apply the patch that can be found at :

[url]http://public.activestate.com/gsar/APC/perl-5.6.2-diffs/20381.gz[/url]

Using the -Uuselargefiles option to Configure may help, depends on your
setup.

Or alternatively install 5.8.0 or the soon-to-be-released 5.8.1.
