yaklichk0719 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I installed perl-5.10.1 for CentOS6.6 from the https://www.cpan.org/src/README.html.

Using the following commands I installed in the folder software:

tar -xzf perl-5.10.1.tar.gz cd perl-5.10.1 ./Configure -des -Dprefix=$HOME/localperl make make test make install

I do not see perl-5.10.1/bin inside the Perl directory. I wonder why?

Thank you,

Sergey

    What was the output of make install?

    I wouldn't expect to get a directory perl-5.10.1 to be created at all, as your prefix is only $HOME/localperl.

    What is the directory layout you actually get below $HOME/localperl?

      What installation settings would recommend to install Perl, where I would have   perl-5.10.1/bin locally?

        I thought you already had run a configuration and installation, and already had reviewed the installation instructions for Perl 5.10.1 and run these.

        Reading that document, it seems that a good configuration argument would be:

        -Dprefix='~/perl-5.10.1/'
        Hi,

        What was the output of make install?

        What is the directory layout you actually get below $HOME/localperl?

    You don't post any errors displayed in the process, or the output of any commands. Please provide all relevant information, note the formatting advice displayed each time you post.

    Update: most likely this, sounds like you're looking in the wrong place.

    Please stay in your original thread. Creating new threads for every little detail wastes everyone's time.
