    <para>First, fix a build issue that arises only in the LFS environment:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="pre">sed -e '9751 a#ifndef PERL_IN_XSUB_RE' \
    -e '9808 a#endif'                  \
    -i regexec.c</userinput></screen>

    <para>Prepare Perl for compilation:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="configure">sh Configure -des -Dprefix=/tools -Dlibs=-lm</userinput></screen>

    <para>Build the package:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="make">make</userinput></screen>

    <para>Although Perl comes with a test suite, it would be better to wait
    until it is installed in the next chapter.</para>

    <para>Only a few of the utilities and libraries need to be installed at this
    time:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="install">cp -v perl cpan/podlators/scripts/pod2man /tools/bin
mkdir -pv /tools/lib/perl5/&perl-version;
cp -Rv lib/* /tools/lib/perl5/&perl-version;</userinput></screen>
