Hello
I used Install parallel Perl on Debian to install perl5.8.1 in my "Debian woody, 2.4.21" untill the line "make install".
but when I go to
4.confirm new Perl 5.8.0 is user Perl
$perl -e 'print "$]\n";' #should tell you "5.008".
well, it shows 5.006
so I put back the symlink pointing to perl5.6.1:
rm /usr/bin/perl;
ln -s perl5.6.1 /usr/bin/perl
:/home/username/#/usr/bin/perl5.6.1
print 1\n;
1
Once things stabilized, I went back to perl-5.8.1 directory and start over but with a new reboot into a new root shell, no kde or x environment.
:/home/username/#tar -zxvf stable.tar.gz
:/home/username/#cd perl-5.8.1
:/home/username/perl-5.8.1#rm -f config.sh Policy.sh
:/home/username/perl-5.8.1#sh Configure -de
make

...whole bunch of lines
