7.10.1. Installation of Perl

Prepare Perl for compilation: 

sh Configure -des                                        \
             -Dprefix=/usr                               \
             -Dvendorprefix=/usr                         \
             -Dprivlib=/usr/lib/perl5/5.34/core_perl     \
             -Darchlib=/usr/lib/perl5/5.34/core_perl     \
             -Dsitelib=/usr/lib/perl5/5.34/site_perl     \
             -Dsitearch=/usr/lib/perl5/5.34/site_perl    \
             -Dvendorlib=/usr/lib/perl5/5.34/vendor_perl \
             -Dvendorarch=/usr/lib/perl5/5.34/vendor_perl

The meaning of the new Configure options:

-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.

Compile the package: 

make

Install the package: 

make install

Details on this package are located in Section 8.41.2, “Contents of Perl.”
