Hi all,
just installed latest AREDN SW release... and discovered that perl is apparently no longer available ....
We are using perl for some ancillary local functions... how could we get again perl in this release ?
Any help is warmly welcomed

Hi Chuck,
thanks a lot for your infos...
In our local AREDN network we have a number of tools that we use for gatering a number of statistics for the network... these tools are written in perl and there is at present no need for reworking them.. so shortest path is continue using them..

Chuck told you how to install perl itself, but as I understand it, the ability of the AREDN firmware to do anything with a perl command is gone. One of the developers will have to confirm that...
Correct. No more Perl. I would NOT depend on those perl packages being around long.
