“Perl requires an additional module to emulate Ruby’s p command.” – not from the debugger, where it’s most needed. That’s just “x [expression]“, and it does a very good job dumping anything.

“perl -e ‘use My::Module;’” – just “perl -MMy::Module -e0″ is less typing.

I’m sure. It is also on the 11iv2 Internet Express CD. But you can download the latest release from http://software.hp.com. Just do a search for Ruby and the IE’s for 11iv1 & 2 will show up. If you click on wither one of them, you will see it listed in the web1 list.

I’ve not seen it on Internet Express. Are you sure? Maybe I just haven’t gotten it recently. Does it include Ruby for 11iv2 and for PARISC?

Perl::Critic is very good to use to check your Perl programs.

Wow! I just perused your post at first. It sounds like you have had some issues. I personally have never had an issue with the cpan module using activestate. I am not sure about the warnings. That would be a good question to post on the ITRC.
