SUMMARY
=======

collgui is on the Associate Products CD Volume 2. I had looked only on the System Tools CD.

Installing with setld was standard and easy. I didn't have to do anything with Perl. All-in-all relatively easy. Now if I can just figure out how to use it.

Thanks to BL Venkatesh, Jonathan Williams, and David Knight.

ORIGINAL QUESTION
+++++++++++++++++

Greetings,

I am just beginning to get my hands wet with collect on our 5.1A PK3
machines. I'd like to try and use collgui to help me read the output but I
can't find it anywhere. All the documentation I've read seems to indicate
that it is delivered and installed alongside collect but I don't see it
anyplace. The documentaion also says I need to have perl available in order
to run collgui. Here are my questions:

1 - Should I bother to use collgui? Do others use different tools to
read/graph/plot/interpret the output?
2 - How do I install/setup/configure collgui if I've already got collect
installed? Am I just overlooking it someplace?
3 - Here's my perl exe:

root@florida==> which perl
/usr/bin/perl

root@florida==> cd /usr/bin

root@florida==> ls -alF perl
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root system 31 Jul 7 14:57 perl@ ->
../lib/perl-5.6.0/bin/perl5.6.0*

Is this all I need from perl to run collgui?

Thanks alot!
