<para>Prepare Perl to be compiled:</para>

<para><screen><userinput>./configure.gnu --prefix=/usr</userinput></screen></para>

<para>If you want more control over the way perl sets itself up to be
built, you can run the interactive <userinput>Configure</userinput> script
instead and modify the way perl is built. If you think you can live with the
(sensible) defaults perl auto-detects, then just use the command listed
above.</para>

<para>Continue with compiling the package:</para>

<para><screen><userinput>make</userinput></screen></para>

<para><screen><userinput>make test</userinput></screen></para>

<para>And finish off installing the package:</para>

<para><screen><userinput>make install</userinput></screen></para>
