Hi,

I desperately need your help. I've already asked this question on one other board but without any luck.
I want to install locally a new version of Perl, lets say 5.16.1 (OS is Debian 6.0.3.)
I tried to do it by the perlbrew and also by configure/make/make install. In both cases (and I tried different versions of Perl) I got the same error message.

...

Do you have any ideas how it could be fixed? Thanks a lot!
