APM: Configuring Perl

[Montgomery Conner]

You can check the configuration of the currently installed system-perl with
'perl -V'. This will issue more information than you ever wanted to know
about a Perl install which you could then use as a template for the new
build...

But, off hand I'd say leave the defaults as-is unless you have something
esoteric planned... in my experience the '-Dprefix=/path/to/install' is the
most usefull option with Configure.

Hope that helps,
