installing perl5.8.5

[Bawan Karn]

I have installed FreeBSD 4.1. The in-built perl is installed on that but I
have to install perl5.8.5. I have googled it and found answers to install
perl, but I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I can't install it. I am
wrting you the steps which I did:
1. Copied perl-5.8.5.tar.gz
2. Extracted this file which seems to be extracted on folder perl-5.8.5
3. Now when I am trying   *perl Makefile.PL* it gives me result as
Can't open perl script Makefile.PL: No such file or Directory
4. when i am doing *make install* it gives me result as make:don't know how
to make install. Stop

Can somebody tell me what I am doing wrong and how I can solve this issue.
Thank you.

 I have installed FreeBSD 4.1.

I hope you mean 4.11; I really do. :) Otherwise, don't even bother with
upgrading Perl.

 I have googled it and found answers to install
 perl, but I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I can't 
 install it. I am
 wrting you the steps which I did:
 1. Copied perl-5.8.5.tar.gz
 2. Extracted this file which seems to be extracted on folder

 Can't open perl script Makefile.PL: No such file or Directory
 4. when i am doing *make install* it gives me result as 
 make:don't know how to make install. Stop

Assuming you're on 4.11, really, just do:

cd /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8
make
make test
make install

That's all. Maybe add PREFIX=/path-to=new-perl, if you want.
