Re^5: Obtaining perl-5.6.2 for modern Ubuntu

apperently, perlbrew install /opt/perl-5.26.1.tar.bz2 from https://github.com/gugod/App-perlbrew/issues/585

if and when it fails tests perlbrew will tell you how to force install (i can't find it now and closed that terminal)

if and when it fails tests perlbrew will tell you how to force install Yeah ... I didn't mention this in the above rambling rant, but when it first failed to install (because of the test failures) I noticed the following advice at the end of the messages: `Generally, if you need to install a perl distribution known to have mi +nor test failures, do one of these commands to avoid seeing this message: perlbrew --notest install perl-5.6.2 perlbrew --force install perl-5.6.2` [download] So, I re-ran the command with `--force` but it still failed in exactly the same way. Then I noticed another message higher up: `If some perl tests failed and you still want to install this distribut +ion anyway, do: (cd /home/sisyphus/perl5/perlbrew/build/perl-5.6.2/perl-5.6.2; make +install)` [download] So I did that, and it installed that build of perl-5.6.2 just fine.

Generally, if you need to install a perl distribution known to have mi
+nor test
failures, do one of these commands to avoid seeing this message:

  perlbrew --notest install perl-5.6.2
  perlbrew --force install perl-5.6.2
[download]

--force

If some perl tests failed and you still want to install this distribut
+ion anyway,
do:

  (cd /home/sisyphus/perl5/perlbrew/build/perl-5.6.2/perl-5.6.2; make 
+install)
