% Hi expert,

Ha!  I'm not expert, but I can try to help :-)


% 
% I am install a Bioinformatics application, which is useperl module. In Makefile.PL, 
there is 'use 5.6.1;', but I have only perl5 (5.0 patchlevel 5 subversion 3), and I 
have no 5.6.1 module. I search CPAN, I can not find this module, do I need install 
perl5.6.1, do I have other options?

Yes, that's exactly what it means.  Some part of the module uses code
or features that are only available with 5.6.1 or later, so you have to
have that version of perl installed.

You can either replace your current perl or install 5.6.1 in its own tree
somewhere.  If you have an install directory for your application and
it's the only thing that needs 5.6.1 and you don't want to disturb your
current environment, it might make sense to install perl in something
like

  /usr/local/thisapp/perl

where your application is installed in

  /usr/local/thisapp

so that it's there as a full installation but nonetheless out of the way.

% Thank you very much.

Sure thing!
