Thats what I would do too. The CGI::Builder author seems to be
available to help (http://perl.4pro.net), perhaps for pay, but
maybe he wont charge for compile- and bug-fixing.

perl 5.8 from 5.10? (i feel 5.10 is less stable than 5.8, but doesnt
get in my way).


I think if I leave out /usr/lib64, perl won't compile. I've tried so many variations they kind of blend together

The make command gives this error:
make: *** No rule to make target `<command-line>', needed by `miniperlmain.o'. Stop

doing make -f Makefile let's perl compile, except for x2p, which gives a similar error. I've worked around this by taking out lines from the makefile like:
av$(OBJ_EXT): <command-line>

The main reason for wanting 5.8.x is I have some legacy apps that use CGI::Builder, which won't compile under 5.10. At this point I'm going to focus on getting it to build on 5.10, since that actually has a working mod_perl binary for my AMD64 box.

Thanks for the help so far.
