Why do you need perl-5.8.1? Why not go for the (better) perl-5.8.4?

Uhh, not realy a bug.

Did you read "INSTALL" ?

--8<--- about line 358:
You can specify a different 'prefix' for the default installation
directory, when Configure prompts you or by using the Configure command
line option -Dprefix='/some/directory', e.g.

        sh Configure -Dprefix=/opt/perl

If your prefix contains the string "perl", then the suggested
directory structure is simplified.  For example, if you use
prefix=/opt/perl, then Configure will suggest /opt/perl/lib instead of
/opt/perl/lib/perl5/.  Again, see L<"Installation Directories"> below
for more details.  Do not include a trailing slash, (i.e. /opt/perl/)
or you may experience odd test failures.

FWIW I've got several binary HP-UX builds ready for use available on
my HP ITRC site pages can be found at (please use LA as primary choice):

USA Los Angeles http://mirrors.develooper.com/hpux/
SGP Singapore   https://www.beepz.com/personal/merijn/
USA Chicago     http://ww.hpux.ws/merijn/
NL  Hoofddorp   http://www.cmve.net/~merijn/

the perl builds available there are to be installed on /opt/perl

Enjoy, have FUN! H.Merijn
