Hi,
I want to install 5.8.5 on my system.
- How do I extract the compile options from my system version, to use
when I build from source? I don't know if perl -V tells me everything
- How do I make it so that after this install, then when I have to
install the next version, I don't have to reinstall every module from
CPAN? Since the perl path is, after installing 5.8.5 is:
> /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.5/i686-linux
> /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.5
> /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i686-linux
> /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5
> /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl
ie everything has 5.8.5 in the path, when I install 5.8.x it will not
find all the packages I've download from CPAN
Thanks
Jay
