If you're using a relatively modern operating system and want to
install this version of Perl locally, run the following commands:
- ./Configure -des -Dprefix=/opt/foo
+ ./Configure -des -Dprefix=$HOME/localperl
make test
make install
+This will configure and compile perl for your platform, run the regression
+tests, and install perl in a subdirectory "localperl" of your home directory.
+
If you run into any trouble whatsoever or you need to install a customized
version of Perl, you should read the detailed instructions in the "INSTALL"
file that came with this distribution. Additionally, there are a number of
'perldoc perlbug' or just 'perlbug' on a line by itself.
While it was current when we made it available, Perl is constantly evolving
-and there may be a more recent version that bugs you've run into or adds
-new features that you might find useful.
