MiniVend 3.11 requires Perl 5.004 or higher.
MiniVend has been tested on Solaris 2, SunOS, Linux, HP-UX, BSDI, FreeBSD and OSF/Alpha. It also reportedly runs on SCO, AIX and other UNIX ports. It should work on any UNIX or Win32 OS with Perl 5.004 or higher.
MiniVend also requires GDBM version 2.0.x or higher.
If you want to run it on anything other than Linux, you'd better have a look at the README.OS file, which includes important notes about further requirements and restrictions for Windows NT/95/98, BSDI and FreeBSD.
