+By default, Configure will use the following directories for 5.17.4.
$version is the full perl version number, including subversion, e.g.
5.12.3, and $archname is a string like sun4-sunos,
determined by Configure. The full definitions of all Configure
libraries after 5.6.0, but not for executables. TODO?) One convenient
way to do this is by using a separate prefix for each version, such as
- sh Configure -Dprefix=/opt/perl5.17.2
+ sh Configure -Dprefix=/opt/perl5.17.4
-and adding /opt/perl5.17.2/bin to the shell PATH variable. Such users
