Perl Programming Language :: reinstall perl


	reinstall perl We have decided to reinstall perl 5.8.8 on our solaris 5.10 boxes. This task has fallen in my lap and I have rebuilt core perl and all the necessary modules in a local test directory using sh Configure -de -Dprefix = /home/aardxx/perl. Having tested the whole load I am now ready to "move" it to /usr/ perl588. My understanding is that core perl has compiled into it the @INC table and I notice that /home/aardxx prefix is scattered all through the various files in the installation directory. I realize that I will need to rebuild the cor perl using the prefix / usr/perl588 but is there are way of moving the modules over uithout recompiling them? Might I be able to mod the config.sh then do a make install? Guess I'm looking for a few shortcuts. Any ideas would be appreciated JonL <boha@yahoo.com> writes: > I realize that I will need to rebuild the cor perl using the prefix / > usr/perl588 but is there are way of moving the modules over uithout > recompiling them? In my experience, I've never known a module to be location-aware. You may be able to simply make a tarball of the module directory and move it to the site_perl directory under your new prefix. sherm-- -- Web Hosting by West Virginians, for West Virginians: http://wv-www.net Cocoa programming in Perl: http://camelbones.sourceforge.net
