I am trying to upgrade Perl from version 5.005_03 to 5.8 on a 4.8-RELEASE FreeBSD VPS (virtual private server).
I did a 'pkg_add perl-5.8.0_7.tgz' but I then removed it because I was getting this error: /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/bin/perl: Undefined symbol "nl_langinfo" I then decided to dowload the source and compile it myself, but some of the tests fail: ========================================================================== Failed Test Stat Wstat Total Fail Failed List of Failed --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- ..../ext/IPC/SysV/ipcsysv.t 78 19968 16 16 100.00% 1-16 ..../ext/IPC/SysV/t/msg.t 78 19968 9 9 100.00% 1-9 ..../ext/IPC/SysV/t/sem.t 78 19968 10 10 100.00% 1-10 ..../lib/IPC/SysV.t 78 19968 16 16 100.00% 1-16 ..../lib/Net/Ping/t/110_icmp_inst.t 255 65280 2 1 50.00% 2 45 tests and 414 subtests skipped.
