( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

tye,

Sounds like we do similar types of work, except now most of the time I'm building new systems. For some reason the new distros use Perl 5.10.x, which I've found to have a lot of problems. I would rather have 5.8.8 than a 5.10.x. However, I install 5.12.2 as my preference. Experimenting with 5.14.x, I have had problems with CPAN mods compiling.

All of this is normal in a changing world, but what I don't like is the vendors modifying Perl to fix their crappy scripts.

I think if your just take all the defaults with compiling a new Perl, it will be installed in /usr/local/bin.

I wasn't trying to find fault with your statements as much as pointing to the new problem of using vendor modified Perl.

All the best...Ed

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
