how to upgrade perl?

hello,

My current system (RH linux kernel 2.4) is running perl 5.8.0.
When installing something I got the errors:
Warning: I could not locate your pod2man program. Please make sure,
your pod2man program is in your PATH before you execute 'make'
So I think I may need to upgrade perl to the current version.
But I didn't have experience on this.Can anybody show me a direction?
Thanks.

You can upgrade perl in pretty much the same way you build and install
perl from the source. In fact, it may be easier to upgrade than to
build the it in the first place; if you're not sure how to configure
the new perl, you can see how the previous version was configured by
searching its config.pm file. Try this command if you need to see that
file:

perldoc -m config

If you get stuck along the way, let us know where. Good luck with it!

Re: how to upgrade perl?

Thank you Tom.I have two choices,one is to ask the tech support guys
in IDC to upgrade the OS to new version which has higher version perl
installed.if they don't like to do that,I would have to upgrade perl
by myself following your suggestion.

Question about map

Does anyone see anything wrong with the following:

-labels=3D> {map ({$$_[0]=3D>$$[1]>0?"$$_[0] *":"$$_[0] _"} @$servers)},

I can not get the map to return the _true_ value... $$_[1] is either 1
or 0...=20

The following works...

-labels=3D> {map ({$$_[0]=3D>&imap($$_[0],$$_[1])} @$servers)},

sub imap{
my ($server, $selected) =3D @_;
return $selected>0?"$server *":"$server _";
}

TIA...=20

^^^^^
$$[1] is wrong. It should be $$_[1] or better $_->[1].
