I downloaded ActivePerl-5.14.2.1402-x86_64-linux-glibc-2.3.5-295342.tar.gz. Per install instruction, I typed "sh install.sh". I got the output. 


sh ./install.sh

At the end of installation, it suggested to add the path, /opt/ActivePerl-5.14/site/bin and /opt/ActivePerl-5.14/site/man. However, these two directories do not exist after installation. I wonder I may missed something. Any idea?

ls: /opt/ActivePerl-5.14/site/bin: No such file or directory
ls: /opt/ActivePerl-5.14/site/man: No such file or directory
