Go to http://www.perl.com/pub/a/language/info/software.html and fetch the "Stable Production Release" </snip> Hi all, First off thx to Jenda for pointing me to the 5.8 source. I just finished the build and tests and everything worked great. I have never done this before...i.e. multiple versions of Perl and building it myself. I ususally just use the binary installs, but I want to tinker with multi-threads in Perl. My approach was rather unorthodox, especially given the Windows platform ( and if I've done something wrong please tell me )... 1.) Copy the current version of Perl (5.6.1 Build 633) to a new (target) folder. 2.) Edit the makefile.mk for the environment. 3.) Point the makefile.mk install to the new folder. 4.) Build Perl 5.8 into the new folder using nmake. 5.) Run nmake test I now have two versions or Perl... C:\Programs\Perl C:\Programs\Perl-5.8.0 My next question is more of a search on advice then a question. Now that I have multiple versions of Perl running on my Win 2K machine (something I've never done), What's the simplest way to manage these... 1.) Setup BAT files that switch the PATH variable so that one version of Perl gets precedence before another. 2.) Setup Perl scripts that switch the PATH variable. 3.) Have the Perl scripts call the specific version of Perl you want to execute. 4.) Neither, your screwed...but good luck anyway.
