| Summary | 0000523: Missing exe files | ||||
| Description | The Perl 5.14.2 build is missing more.exe and sh.exe. That breaks perldoc. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | perl F:\perl5\usr\local\scripts\perldoc -v $' | ||||
| Additional Information | I was trying to test whether the most recent perldoc still loses CR. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
|

I have no more.exe on my system... In relation to sh.exe - I'd rather not include a build that's not part of Perl. I've updated readme.os2 as follows: If sh.exe can't be found in \bin; then use the PERL_SH_DIR environment variable to set the location with *forward slashes*. The recommended shell to use as sh.exe is available from ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/alpha/ash.zip (rename ash.exe to sh.exe) |

You might also add text suggesting that those with firefix installed set PERL_SH_DIR to bootdrive:/moztools and edit lib\5.10.0\os2\Config_heavy.pl to specify EXECSHELL as one of 'ash', 'ksh' or 'pdksh'. Have you tried perldoc on your system? Please see [perl #108872]. |
