Build the package: make Although Perl comes with a test suite, it would be better to wait until it is installed in the next chapter. Only a few of the utilities and libraries need to be installed at this time: cp -v perl cpan/podlators/scripts/pod2man /tools/bin mkdir -pv /tools/lib/perl5/&perl-version; cp -Rv lib/* /tools/lib/perl5/&perl-version; <para>Details on this package are located in <xref linkend="contents-perl" role="."/></para> </sect2> </sect1>
