Hi,
What is your use case, maybe it can be solved by adding "use v5.8;" or "use
v5.10;" at the top?
It is rarely needed to install such an old version of perl, unless it's for
testing compatibility, but then we should aim higher than v5.8.
v5.16 is the oldest version supported by toolchain,
my perl version shipped by ubuntu 22.04 is 5.34.0.
This is perl 5, version 34, subversion 0 (v5.34.0) built for
x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi
regards.

Hello,
What's the motivation to install a version which is 21 years old ?
If you have an old code probably is better try to update it.
