I was trying to install a personal version of Perl to my own user

tar zvxf stable.tar.gz
cd perl-5.8.8
Shouldn't you have 5.10?
This is the line I encounter problems on:
make && make test && make install
It sounds like your train wreck happened during the 'make'. It may be
helpful to try the 'make' step separately from 'make test'.
Unfortunately, seeing the aftermath of a big wreck, it's sometimes
hard to see what caused it. Did you run up against your disk space
quota, perhaps?
Good luck with it!

It appeared to be the fact that it couldn't read my /home/ directory:
this page here:

has the details. Also my current dillema, which I will repeat here for
clarities sake:
