perl -P option

[mark1110]

Hi,

I have perl scripts that are coming from hp unix and being moved to aix unix. On each perl script I have
#!/usr/bin/perl -P. When I run this I get an error cc_r is not found in cppstdin file. However when I take out the -P that error message disappears and is replaced by

Can't locate logit.pl in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.8.8/aix-thread-multi /usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.8.8 /usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/aix-thread-multi /usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl . /sysadmin/collector/src/module/lib/site_perl/5.8.0/aix-thread-multi/) at /broker/user/bin/testing.pl line 17.


I am a little confused. What do I need to do to not get these error messages.

-P seems to be an old option from perl 4 -

-P
    causes your script to be run through the C preprocessor before compilation by perl. (Since both comments and cpp directives begin with the # character, you should avoid starting comments with any words recognized by the C preprocessor such as "if", "else" or "define".)

I would just remove it. The second error is due to a missing script, 'logit.pl' It can go in any of the directories listed, including the same directory as the script you're trying to execute. (choose the latter)
