Re: [cobalt-users] Implications of upgrading Perl?



UPDATED:  The "yes" option in my first reply doesn't work after all...
(helps to actually check the final script/instructions you send out!)


*** STILL UNOFFICIAL AND STILL NOT SUPPORTED ***

1. shell into RaQ4 as root
2. get perl-5.6.1.tar.gz from ftp.perl.org
3. tar zxvf perl-5.6.1.tar.gz
4. cd perl-5.6.1
5. sh Configure
-Dotherlibdirs='/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005:/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-linux'
-des

(step 5 should all be one line; mail wrap probably munged it)

6. make && make test && make install

Need to press Enter once during the 'make install' step...

Again, remember this is UNOFFICIAL AND NOT SUPPORTED... :)
