Thank you for the report. Verified as described.

Since we are not supporting AIX 5.2 anymore, the path will automatically be consistent across all AIX packages in the future. However, it should probably still be /usr/bin/perl.

This problem was corrected in 5.0.84 and 5.1.36. Could have been a problem for a few other platforms than AIX as well where the Perl used during release build was not the default "/usr/bin/perl".

Noted in 5.0.84, 5.1.36, 5.4.4 changelogs. Some Perl scripts in AIX packages contained an incorrect path to the perl executable.

Noted in 5.5.0 changelog.
Description: The following files of mysql-5.0.81-aix5.3-powerpc.tar.gz require /usr/local/perl/bin/perl: ./bin/mysql_find_rows ./bin/mysql_fix_extensions ./bin/mysql_setpermission ./bin/mysql_zap ./bin/mysqlaccess ./sql-bench/bench-count-distinct ./sql-bench/bench-init.pl ./sql-bench/compare-results ./sql-bench/copy-db ./sql-bench/crash-me ./sql-bench/innotest1 ./sql-bench/innotest1a ./sql-bench/innotest1b ./sql-bench/innotest2 ./sql-bench/innotest2a ./sql-bench/innotest2b ./sql-bench/run-all-tests ./sql-bench/server-cfg ./sql-bench/test-ATIS ./sql-bench/test-alter-table ./sql-bench/test-big-tables ./sql-bench/test-connect ./sql-bench/test-create ./sql-bench/test-insert ./sql-bench/test-select ./sql-bench/test-transactions ./sql-bench/test-wisconsin This differs from e.g. mysql-5.0.77-aix5.2-powerpc.tar.gz (notice the 5.2 architecture there!), which instead requires /usr/bin/perl. Which in turn appears to be more "standard" on AIX, as the perl.rte package creates a /usr/bin/perl symlink to the installed version: bwiberg@melody-lp04:~$ lslpp -la | grep perl.rte perl.rte 5.8.2.60 COMMITTED Perl Version 5 Runtime bwiberg@melody-lp04:~$ lslpp -f perl.rte | grep 'bin' | grep 'perl$' /usr/opt/perl5/bin/find2perl /usr/bin/find2perl -> /usr/opt/perl5/bin/find2perl /usr/opt/perl5/bin/perl5.8.2 -> /usr/opt/perl5/bin/perl /usr/opt/perl5/bin/perl bwiberg@melody-lp04:~$ ls -l /bin/perl lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 28 2008-03-12 16:13 /bin/perl -> /usr/opt/perl5/bin/perl5.8.2 bwiberg@melody-lp04:~$ oslevel -s 5300-08-01-0819 How to repeat: Just unpack mysql-5.0.81-aix5.3-powerpc.tar.gz and look at the first row of the mentioned files. Suggested fix: It would be great if this could be made consistent over the AIX line of binary releases, i.e., the AIX 5.3 packages should probably be changed so that they reference /usr/bin/perl instead of /usr/local/perl/bin/perl.
