- on Linux distributions based on RPMs, you will need to install
'perl-core' rather than just 'perl'.
- It is highly recommended that you have at least Perl version 5.10
- installed.
+ You MUST have at least Perl version 5.10.0 installed. This minimum
+ requirement is due to our use of regexp backslash sequence \R among
+ other features that didn't exist in core Perl before that version.
Notes on Perl on Windows
------------------------
package that we know of is ActiveState Perl, available from
http://www.activestate.com/ActivePerl.
+ Notes on Perl on VMS
+ --------------------
+
+ You will need to install Perl separately. One way to do so is to
+ download the source from http://perl.org/, unpacking it, reading
+ README.vms and follow instructions. Another way is to download a
+ .PCSI file from http://www.vmsperl.com/ and install it using the
+ POLYCENTER install tool.

Notes on Perl modules we use

$ cpan -f -i Text::Template
+
+ Note: on VMS, you must quote any argument that contains upper case
+ characters, so the lines above would be:
+
+ $ cpan -i "Text::Template"
+
+ and:
+
+ $ cpan -f -i "Text::Template"
