The architecture of Perl for z/OS comprised several key components. The central component was the Perl interpreter, responsible for parsing and executing Perl scripts. These scripts could interact with the z/OS operating system through system calls and external commands.
Perl scripts could also utilize various modules for tasks such as file I/O, network communication, and database interaction. The system did not use a specific database or storage mechanism internally, but Perl scripts could interact with external databases through appropriate modules. Communication typically occurred through standard input/output streams and network sockets, depending on the script's functionality.
The Perl interpreter was the primary interface, and configuration files allowed customization of the environment. While Perl for z/OS is no longer provided as a separate product, understanding its architecture is helpful when dealing with legacy systems. js for new development.
