I am trying to install perl and I am getting the following error message:

This is my first perl install, I apologize if the question trivial. Thank you Laszlo

What is your operating system? Re: NonStop perl 5.12.1 port assistance request - nntp.perl.org suggests some kind of issue with "NonStop" but there is no apparent resolution	[reply]

http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2010/08/msg163485.html suggests a change to `lib/File/Copy.pm`, forcing the block size to 4096. Can you apply that change and see whether it works? I haven't trawled the changes to File::Copy - maybe the NonStop specific fix never went in. If your company is using Perl on NonStop "Unix", maybe you have access to a test environment where you can run a monthly test build of Perl so such errors can be detected and smoked out earlier in the process?
