The Perl package contains the Practical Extraction and Report Language.
Prepare Perl for compilation:
sh Configure -des \
-D prefix=/usr \
-D vendorprefix=/usr \
-D useshrplib \
-D privlib=/usr/lib/perl5/5.40/core_perl \
-D archlib=/usr/lib/perl5/5.40/core_perl \
-D sitelib=/usr/lib/perl5/5.40/site_perl \
-D sitearch=/usr/lib/perl5/5.40/site_perl \
-D vendorlib=/usr/lib/perl5/5.40/vendor_perl \
-D vendorarch=/usr/lib/perl5/5.40/vendor_perl
The meaning of the 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.
-D
vendorprefix=/usr
This ensures perl knows how to tell packages where they should install their Perl modules.
-D
useshrplib
Build libperl needed by some
Perl modules as a shared library, instead of a static
library.
-D privlib,-D
archlib,-D sitelib,...
These settings define where Perl looks for installed modules. The LFS editors chose to put them in a directory structure based on the MAJOR.MINOR version of Perl (5.40) which allows upgrading Perl to newer patch levels (the patch level is the last dot separated part in the full version string like 5.40.0) without reinstalling all of the modules.
Compile the package:
make
Install the package:
make install
