Hi Regland,
I believe this is what is happening -
1. You installed Taroon and got Perl auto-installed during the installation. 2. You found out that this Perl version is not appropriate for your application. 3. you downloaded Perl-5.8.3 from cpan. 4. You are having trouble installing this version.
If I am right so far, I think this is what you can do -
A. Install Perl-5.8.3 in /opt. Instructions are in the same INSTALL file. B. Use the default Perl that Red Hat has supplied for normal jobs. C. Use the Perl in /opt for your application. D. REMEMBER: If you insist on using the CPAN module to install new modules into *both* installations, please keep the .cpan dirs separate.
This is because Red Hat invests time in providing a version of Perl that
we can support over the lifetime of the RHEL product that you have bought. If your versions are not what Red Hat has supplied/updated, then
you may run into support issues with Red Hat. So, keep the Perl version supplied by Red Hat, and update it *only* through RHN. And run your application through the Perl that you have compiled in /opt.
Hope this helps.
