Getting Perl5:

First, see the list of ftp sites below.

If you get version 5.001, you will probably want the patches mentioned
in the e-mail appended at the bottom of this file:

This following is excerpted from the comp.lang.perl FAQ 1/5, editted

Something like the following should probably be included.  If others have
the patches available, I'd appreciate it if they'd chime in too.


A large number of Configure & build problems are addressed in the 5
unofficial patches 1a through 1e from the perl5-porters.  They should
be applied to a fresh 5.001 distribution.  These patches also include
Larry's four unofficial patches.  Full descriptions are included at the
beginning of each patch.

If you've had any problems with perl5.001, you should apply these
patches.  Even if you haven't had any problems, you still should apply
these patches.

These patches can be obtained by anonymous ftp from the following sites:
        ftp.wpi.edu:/perl5/
        ftp://ftp.metronet.com/pub/perl/source/

Be aware, they aren't official patches, but I hope they will be
helpful.
