PDK 7.2 does not work with HPUX ActivePerl

OS: HP-UX HP-UX ( PA-RISC )

I get this error, tried every perl I could find for HPUX 11.11 (pa-risc)(including version from hp website) with PDK:

/opt/perl_32/bin/perl:
- '/opt/perl_32/bin/perl-static' (PA-RISC2.0) is not binary compatible with ActivePerl (PA-RISC1.1-thread-multi)

It seems the PDK and ActivePerl from HPUX are no longer binary compadible? Is there a PDK for pa-risc2.0? Is there anyway I could get the old ActivePerl 5.8.x for HPUX before HP took it over?

I am guessing the issue may also have to do with fact that HP compiled ActivePerl with their C compiler which costs a lot of money and I dont have a license for it and gcc isnt compadible with their crap version of ActivePerl...please help this is very very very frustrating.

I also tried to compile with gcc ActivePerl source but couldnt get it to compile/work correctly.

Thanks!

Basically correct

You are misreading the error message slightly, but the jist is correct.

The reference to ActivePerl comes from the internal Perl within the PDK. The Perl at /opt/perl is HP's version. And yes, they are not compatible because HP is building their own.

Currently, the only Perl for HP-UX that ActiveState is distributing is available under ActivePerl Enterprise.
