Re^2: Obtaining perl-5.6.2 for modern Ubuntuby syphilis (Archbishop) |

I managed to have perl 5.6 on Ubuntu 18.04.1 Thanks for this - just the sort of approach I needed to see ! Nothing wrong with perlbrew's capability to build perl-5.6.2, but this approach makes the procedure clearer, and also saves me having to find out how to influence the Configure flags with perlbrew. Following those instructions, I built and installed a -Duselongdouble build of perl-5.6.2. (It failed only 2 tests of the test suite.) BTW, you missed out the tar zxvf perl-5.6.2.tar.gz step, which was enough to befuddle me for longer than I care to admit ;-) (I recommend that you correct that.) Cheers, Rob
