yes, I know that Tiger is suppose to deliver perl-5.8.6 - but I am not in a position to upgrade to Tiger this weekend - but would like to build perl-5.8.6 and install it the way that it would be installed.
So what I need is a 'policy.sh' or the config parameters for building it.
It's documented in the README.macosx file that's included with 5.8.6.
I ran the standard ./configure that I downloaded from the CPAN and it's default was to install everything in /usr/local
That's precisely where a custom-built Perl *should* be. The /System folder is Apple's domain.
- where as the current version 5.8.1-RC3 is installed in /System/Library/Perl/5.8.1 does this change in Tiger?
No, it hasn't changed. Apple's Perl is in /System/Library/Perl/5.8.6, and the default for your own custom-built Perl is /usr/local.
