(tye)Re: Patching Perl

Yes! You patched the source code. Now you have to recompile! For example, here is my favorite method:

> mv -f config.sh config.sh.old 
> ./Configure -dsE 
; You can edit config.sh here 
> ./Configure -S 
> make 
> make test 
; Become "root", if you aren't already. 
# make install 
; Answer "yes" that you want /usr/bin/perl set up.

d'oh! I knew I forgot something. Thanks tye and everyone who helped me out in the CB, you made my Saturday a better place to be 8-) I tried tye's config flags and everything went smoothly. Here are what the those Configure flags mean: -d : use defaults for all answers -s : silent mode, only echoes questions and essential information -E : stop at the end of questions, after having produced config.sh -S : perform variable substitutions on all .SH files Get Strong Together!!
