From 34d1470613b86b900a3785aa28a5327a34f54cba Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "H.Merijn Brand" Date: Wed, 1 May 2013 11:08:37 +0200 Subject: Update HP-UX readme The porting center cannot be said to ship recent perl when 5.18.0 is about to be released and they just have 5.10.1 available. Trying "very hard" now sounds like a huge overstatement. Sadly. Telling what modules were included in the first public perl port from HP is like digging up corpses. HP-UX 11.31 has now EOL set to 2022. I've updated all other EOL info too. --- README.hpux | 81 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------------------------- 1 file changed, 44 insertions(+), 37 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.hpux b/README.hpux index 7bd4b93299..6f65c6b22d 100644 --- a/README.hpux +++ b/README.hpux @@ -20,23 +20,13 @@ occurrence is on CD 5012-7954 and can be installed using swinstall -s /cdrom perl -assuming you have mounted that CD on /cdrom.
