Unable to Run Perl Script

You can install other ActivePerl version or Perl binary by using the option to "Run an external program" instead of "Run Script"

Overview

Sometimes it is not possible to install ActivePerl versions that are lower than ActivePerl 5.18 and this causes Perl script in Kiwi Syslog to not run.

Product section

Kiwi Syslog Server

Cause

  • Perl script is working fine with Kiwi (except when using ActivePerl 5.18 or above versions).
  • Kiwi Syslog can only detect x86 perl script engine only.

Resolution

  1. Instead of using Action = Run Script with script language = PerlScript, use the option Action = Run an external program.
  2. Specify the Perl binary as the executable with the script file as a command line option.

 

This will allow you to run the Perl version of your choice.
