Perl tools Prepare Perl for compilation: sh Configure -des -Dprefix=/tools -Dlibs=-lm -Uloclibpth -Ulocincpth -des This is a combination of three options: -d uses defaults for all items; -e ensures completion of all tasks; -s silences non-essential output. -Uloclibpth amd -Ulocincpth These entries undefine variables that cause the configuration to search for locally installed components that may exist on the host system. Build the package: make Although Perl comes with a test suite, it would be better to wait until it is installed in the next chapter. Only a few of the utilities and libraries need to be installed at this time: cp -v perl cpan/podlators/scripts/pod2man /tools/bin mkdir -pv /tools/lib/perl5/&perl-version; cp -Rv lib/* /tools/lib/perl5/&perl-version;
