I have installed FreeBSD 4.1. The in-built perl is installed on that but I have to install perl5.8.5. I have googled it and found answers to install perl, but I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I can't install it. I am wrting you the steps which I did: 1. Copied perl-5.8.5.tar.gz 2. Extracted this file which seems to be extracted on folder "perl-5.8.5 3. Now when I am trying *perl Makefile.PL* it gives me result as "Can't open perl script "Makefile.PL": No such file or Directory" 4. when i am doing *make install* it gives me result as "make:don't know how to make install. Stop Can somebody tell me what I am doing wrong and how I can solve this issue. Thank you.
