Compile and install perl (5.16.1) in CentOS)

First download the latest perl source code package:

[Root @ akinlau/] # wget http://www.cpan.org/src/5.0/perl-5.16.1.tar.gz

Decompress the source package
[Root @ akinlau/] # tar-xzf perl-5.16.1.tar.gz

Compile and install. The directory can be customized.

[Root @ akinlau/] # cd perl-5.16.1
[Root @ akinlau perl-5.16.1] #./Configure-des-Dprefix =/usr/local/perl

[Root @ akinlau perl-5.16.1] # make
[Root @ akinlau perl-5.16.1] # make test
[Root @ akinlau perl-5.16.1] # make install

If the system has previously installed the old version of perl, replace the original version of the system.
[Root @ akinlau perl-5.16.1] # mv/usr/bin/perl. bak
[Root @ akinlau perl-5.16.1] # ln-s/usr/local/perl/bin/perl/usr/bin/perl

Let's see if it's the latest version.

[Root @ akinlau perl-5.16.1] # perl-v
