I think so. At least I run "/sources/perl-5.8.8/Configure" first and only then
"./configure.gnu --prefix=/usr \
-Dman1dir=/usr/share/man/man1 \
-Dman3dir=/usr/share/man/man3 \
-Dpager="/usr/bin/less -isR"".
OK. I'd have to investigate whether this fix is accurate or not, but
maybe we should be passing -Dprefix=/usr instead of --prefix. Then we
could leave the note about "run Configure..." alone.

So one should run only
"./configure.gnu --prefix=/usr \
-Dman1dir=/usr/share/man/man1 \
-Dman3dir=/usr/share/man/man3 \
-Dpager="/usr/bin/less -isR""?
Right. It appears that the problem is that if you Configure first, it
sets the prefix to /usr/local and passes that on to the configuration
files. When you subsequently run ./configure.gnu, passing
--prefix=/usr doesn't override the previous run. All of the
configuration files still think the prefix is /usr/local. Needs
investigation.
BTW: Is there a suimple an well known way to remove the "wrong" perl
installation?
For my first working (!) LFS installation I simple want to get the whole stuff
running. -> It is OK for me to have an unused perl in "/usr"local" if that is
the safest way to get it work.
I wouldn't leave it there. It's already proven to screw you once. It's
easy to remove right now because it should be the only thing in
/usr/local. You could do
find /usr/local -type f | xargs rm -f
Or, blow away the entire /usr/local directory and rebuild the basic
directory structure from Ch. 6.5.

Of course, the best way would be a package manager, but that's OT.
