Running Scripts with uperl

The Understand installation includes a special compilation of Perl called “uperl”. This Perl binary file is located in Understand’s binary directory. For example, on Windows it is the uperl.exe file in C:\Program Files\STI\bin\pc-win95.

The uperl program is ready to use once Understand is installed. Any needed packages (Understand or other) are found automatically in Understand’s installation directory.

To run scripts, simply run them with uperl. For example:

uperl metrics.pl 

Note that uperl includes only a subset of Perl's standard libraries. This is done to reduce size. If you write a script that requires more Perl libraries, contact Scientific Toolworks or install the Understand package for use with a full Perl installation as described in the following section.
