Those libraries are not distributed with perl. If your header (.h) files
for those libraries are not in a directory normally searched by your C
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/perl5.13.6
+ sh Configure -Dprefix=/opt/perl5.13.9
