[[http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-authors/id/D/DA/DAPM/perl-5.10.1.tar.bz2][Perl 5.10.1]] [[http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2009/08/msg150172.html][has been released]]. You can download it from the CPAN, or if you can't wait, [[http://www.iabyn.com/tmp/perl-5.10.1.tar.bz2][here]]. Next, you need to build it: #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE mkdir ~/perl/5.10.1 cd ~/code/build/perl-5.10.1 perl Configure -de -Dprefix=${HOME}/perl/5.10.1/ make make test make install #+END_EXAMPLE Add the path to your environment #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE export PATH=${HOME}/perl/5.10.1/bin:$PATH #+END_EXAMPLE and install your CPAN's modules: #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT=1 cpan Bundle::CPANxxl Task::Kensho #+END_EXAMPLE Now you can start to play with it :)
