Hi,

the easiest solution was to use HP's binaries
http://www.software.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=PERL,
instead of anything from Software Porting And
Archive Centre for HP-UX (http://hpux.connect.org.uk/).

Depot's stuff works under /usr/local and relies on
the gcc environment, which I didn't manage to get
properly running, and they didn't offer any feed-back
on this. (Gerado Oliva pointed me to the fact that
the GNU config tools always tried to compile in PA2.0
code, and I didn't persuade them to do it differently.)

In consequence I picked HP's binary, which installs
under /opt and is using HP's cc compiler. Installing
additional modules via CPAN worked fine as well.

My thanks for help go to:
Oliva, Gerardo [Gerardo.Oliva@acs-inc.com]
Avgoustakis, Dimitri [dimitri.avgoustakis@hp.com]
Ben Le [ble@pcc.edu]

and wishes for a nice upcoming week to the whole list,

Michael
