Re: Problems Installing perl 5.8.7

I'm trying to 5.8.7. I currently have installed Perl 5.004_05.

Looking at the install file, I am following the default route.

        rm -f config.sh Policy.sh
        sh Configure -de
        make
        make test
        make install

However when I do a make test, i have 1 test failing (Constant.t)

If I go into the t/ directory and run it manually it looks as though I
have something missing ? as I get the following response.  ( plus
others further down, i'm guessing because of the initial error )

ok 4 # This is dynamic linking, so no need to make perl
# make = 'make test'
Can't load 'blib/arch/auto/ExtTest/ExtTest.so' for module ExtTest:

It looks to me like you are trying to run part of 5.8.7 built test suite using /usr/bin/perl (i.e. versoin 5.004_05).

Try running it explicitly with the just built 5.8.7.
