The perl module is a single file[0], can't you just download it and put the
directoy into $PERL5LIB? If it is too hard, then perhaps a custom function could
be written that properly follows the POSIX standard which would make this patch
unnecessary.

What about IPC::Run[1]? It should be supported for AIX[2].
