NimbostratusHi Experts,
I want to know how to update the perl version...I have downloaded the latest code from perl website...perl-5.20.0.tar.gz
I tried to install it but it failed.. tar -zxf perl-5.20.0.tar.gz cd perl-5.20.0 ./INSTALL [root@F5_FE_LTM1:Active:Standalone] perl-5.20.0 ./INSTALL -bash: ./INSTALL: Permission denied
MVPi dont believe it would be wise to touch the software on the big-ip. you do that by upgrading the whole TMOS, not by separate packages.
if you want to use the perl ace to f5 conversion script you can better do that on an external linux server. it should be quite easy to start a virtual one.
CirrusI have done this. You install perl on your windows machine, and then run the conversion from there. It will then spit out F5 configuration that is 40% close to what you need to do with it.
You then take the config and use " tmsh load sys config merge from-terminal" CTRL-D
You should be able to run the script without upgrading the BigIP perl version.
