Building one's own Perl installation may be the best practice, and maybe all hard-code monks do that. But for those of us of the unwashed masses, that's too much trouble.
Most programmers don't want to deal with system issues; that's one of the reasons for getting a Linux distro you like; so you don't have to compile everything yourself. If your code is going to be distributed widely, then you have little control over what Perl is going to be running it anyway. I think the article's author has a good point... Redhat is undoubtedly doing some damage to Perl because they are distributing a bad version of Perl. I agree that one should expect their distribution to contain a non-broken and performant copy of Perl. sas In reply to Re: blaming perl for not using a build policy
