Are you *really* sure you want to install an ancient perl version like that? The current perl release is version 5.24.0. If you really need to install version 5.8.something, I would suggest using version 5.8.9, which was released 3.5 years later than 5.8.7 and contains lots of bug fixes. To build an ancient perl, you may find perlbrew useful; see http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/GUGOD/App-perlbrew-0.76/README In any case, this ticket doesn't concern a supported version of perl, so I'm marking it as rejected. -- Monto Blanco... scorchio!Thread Previous
