Prepare Perl to be compiled:
./configure.gnu --prefix=/usr |
If you want more control over the way perl sets itself up to be built, you can run the interactive Configure script instead and modify the way perl is built. If you think you can live with the (sensible) defaults perl auto-detects, then just use the command listed above.
Continue with compiling the package:
make |
And finish off installing the package:
make install |
