Perl 5.10.1 released

Perl 5.10.1 have been released. You can download it from the CPAN, or if you can’t wait, here.

Next, you need to build it:

mkdir ~/perl/5.10.1
cd ~/code/build/perl-5.10.1
perl Configure -de -Dprefix=${HOME}/perl/5.10.1/
make
make test
make install

Add the path to your environment

export PATH=${HOME}/perl/5.10.1/bin:$PATH

and install your CPAN’s modules:

PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT=1 cpan Bundle::CPANxxl Task::Kensho

Now you can start to play with it :)

    If you want to use threads, you have to decide that when you compile Perl as well (just add -Dusethreads to the Configure line).
