Can BF Perl API use ccperl?

The document says we need an Perl engine, can we use ccperl/ratlperl from CC/CQ? This way I don't need to install another Perl engine such as ActivePerl.

Thanks
Jirong


Install a Perl interpreter on the client host, such as ActiveState's ActivePerl version 5.8.4 or later. The following Perl prerequisite modules are required (ActivePerl version 5.8.8 includes them):

* Exporter
* LWP::UserAgent
* HTTP::Request


I checked the above module seems there by writing a small program to use them, but I got an error in running:

The install doesn't seem doing anything?

Hi Jirong,

Is there a way to get ccperl to state which version of Perl it contains? Does something like 'ccperl -version' or a variant print anything useful. In looking at the messages you pasted, it doesn't look like it contains a Perl 5.8.4 or later.
