And remember, one doesn't even have to worry about fiddling with the prefix. If you don't do anything else, the perl binary itself will be installed as (for instance) perl5.9.5, so it is not going to overwrite your existing 5.8 (or earlier) perl.

Then, one just has to change to the development directory of a module, and run

    perl5.9.5 Makefile.PL && make all test
[download]

Note that Module::Build is bundled with bleadperl, so you can run perl5.9.5 Build.PL and it should Just Work.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
