[ID 20010710.002] help with installation

I've never tried to install perl from source before, and I'm not having
much luck...I downloaded the source (stable.tar.gz), ran Configure, and
tried to do the 'make', 'make test', 'make install'
series.  Unfortunately, it bombs out on 'make', with the following output:

        AutoSplitting perl library

AutoSplit;  autosplit_lib_modules(@ARGV)' lib/*.pm lib/*/*.pm

I'm trying to install this on an Alpha, OSF1 V4.0 1229.  I do not have
root on this box, so I'm trying to install to a subdir of ~.  There _is_ a
prior version of perl installed, but it's 5.002...full output of perl -V:
