Perl 5.34.1 binary kits available

Installation kits for OpenVMS Alpha and OpenVMS I64 8.4 or later are now =
available, and also a kit for the OpenVMS X86 E9.2 field test.  Files =
can be downloaded from:

<https://sourceforge.net/projects/vmsperlkit/files/>

The Alpha and Itanium files are self-extracting archives and after =
downloading to your VMS system you must run them like so:

$ run VMSPORTS-I64VMS-PERL534-V0534-1-1.SFX_I64EXE

Then:

$ product install perl534

The X86 self-extraction code is not yet up to snuff, so that PCSI kit is =
contained in a simple zip file. You will need to use Info-Zip's unzip =
utility provided with the field test to unzip like so before installing:

$ unzip =3D=3D "$SYS$COMMON:[SYSHLP.UNSUPPORTED.UNZIP]unzip.exe"
$ unzip VMSPORTS-X86VMS-PERL534-T0534-1-1.zip

Note that OpenVMS X86 E9.2 comes with Perl 5.34.0 as part of the base =
install and the kit here will overwrite that with Perl 5.34.1. =20
