It's using the perl in /tools, probably due to the /usr/bin/perl
symlink and new perl installed in /usr/local/bin.

After reading them I believe, that my problem is described best with the
thread number 3. In fact, when starting the installation of perl I run
the "Configure" script and accept most of its defaults. Especially those for
path names.

Now "Policy.sh" (/sources/perl-5.8.8/Policy.sh) contains the following:

"# Installation prefixes.  Allow a Configure -D override.  You
# may wish to reinstall perl under a different prefix, perhaps
# in order to test a different configuration.
# For an explanation of the installation directories, see the
# INSTALL file section on "Installation Directories".
case "$prefix" in
'') prefix='/usr/local' ;;
esac"

Wow. What a piece of garbage. I haven't run Configure directly in a
long time, so I never noticed this wonderful feature.

Did this problem occur as mentioned in that old thread because you ran
./Configure to check the defaults before running ./configure.gnu? If
so, this definitely needs to be in the book.

1.) Can anyone tell me a good way to easily get perl right?

Wipe out the perl source directory, and rebuild it _without_ running
./Configure first. Or, run ./Configure to find the settings you want,
wipe the directory and run ./configure.gnu from a fresh directory.

2.) What of these packages need a new installation:
        *) Perl-5.8.8
        *) Readline-5.1
        *) Zlib-1.2.3
        *) Autoconf-2.59

I'm pretty sure autoconf is the only one, but it can't hurt to rebuild
the other ones.
