Perl-10: solaris; how to run configure with NO asks, but NOT /usr/local?



Answering all these freaking questions -- you start getting used to
hitting <return> for each one, then OOPS, I didn't mean that (that
G.D. "/usr/local"! -- which I *never* want), and now what do I do?

Well, just keep going, and later on edit the makefile, I suppose.

No, I want to start over, but this time specify up front that
I want everything installed right there under the same directory
I untarred the .gz into.

(I'll get to the executables, etc, via symlinks. And I
assume that if I run the correct executable, it'll know
where to look for its own version's libraries are (that
of course came out of the .tar.gz-file.))

Make any sense?

Basically I want to keep these various perl's totally separate.

Maybe there's a better way. You tell me.


Oh, why no /usr/local. Because the way I partitioned the
disk at the os-install a few years ago, there now not enough
room. And even if there were, I'd still have the separate
perl versions colliding.


Question: how do YOU build a perl? You don't actually sit there
answering each of a gillion (sp?) questions, do you?



Thanks!
