atha2001 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I've got a Sun box wt Solaris 2.5.1. The box is 24x7 access and has Perl5.004_04 running fine. Now I've to upgrade it with Perl5.6.0 keeping old Perl version. Previously, when I tried to install it in test directory could not be succeeded. What's the cleanest way to get Perl5.6 installed without disturbing present Perl version ? I've got gcc 2.8.1 version, so I can recompile it.
