Perl
In this release and in future releases, Perl will not be installed as part of the software installation. If a native APP/ALD template is being used which requires Perl, please ensure that the correct version is installed (Perl 5.8.9) and that the -R command line argument points to the Perl DLL that has been installed in the sargsw.3ad (or sargs.3ad) file in the APP subfolder of the Publishing Engine installation.
