Well, you can use the following script to compile a perl distribution and put
it under /usr/local:
[QUOTE]
#!/bin/sh
rm -f config.sh Policy.sh
sh Configure -de -Dprefix=/usr/local -Dusedevel
[/QUOTE]
It will require another flag if you want to enable ithreads. perlbrew may also
prove helpeful.
Otherwise, I think the Debian perl should be pretty good in comparison to
the built-in perls shipped with some other distributions, so you can use it in
conjunction with apt-get.
