Prepare Perl 5.10
(ok, ok, it's only Perl 5.9.x :-)Intro
For the tutorial Advanced::Perl5_10::Regular::Expressions at Wednesday morning you should have a brand new Perl on your laptop. You can read here how that can be done.
After these instructions you will have below the subdirectory
/usr/local/bin
the Perl executables in numbered scheme, like
perl5.9.5
cpan5.9.5
prove5.9.5
perldoc5.9.5
...
and every installed Perl library subdirs have the version
number in path, e.g.
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.9.5
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.9.5
...
Warning! Differing from this scheme it installs
manpages for executables and modules directly below
/usr/local/man, without version numbers in paths
and filenames. So please be careful, if there's already
another Perl there, and read INSTALL by yourself before.
Ready ... Steady ... Go ...
- Download:
rsync -avz rsync://public.activestate.com/perl-current/ perl-current/ - Compile / Install:
cd perl-current rm -f config.sh Policy.sh sh Configure -de -Dusedevel make make test make install # as root
Done.
