Hi perl monks
I am using knoppix 5.1.1 (based on etch) and I need a complete installation of version of perl it comes with (per perl -V) perl5 (revision 5 version 8 subversion 8) even if temporarily to just finish some other installation
But when I tried to install it I got I error I don't really know how o deal with
How can I install a complete copy of perl 5.8.8?
thank you
