This is what is *really* unhelpful:
$ which cpan5.24.0
/bin/cpan5.24.0
$ cpan5.24.0
-bash: /bin/cpan5.24.0: /usr/bin/perl5.24.0: bad interpreter: No such

$ head -3 `which cpan5.24.0`
#!/usr/bin/perl5.24.0
eval 'exec /usr/bin/perl5.24.0 -S $0 ${1+"$@"}'
if $running_under_some_shell;
So the #! line is correct in using /usr/bin/, which is what I asked
for, but every got plopped in /bin instead, so nothing5.24.0 works. I
have to use perl5.24.0 -S whatever5.24.0. Grrr!!!
More info follows. Also attached are config.sh and Policy.sh.

#####
versiononly (versiononly.U):
If set, this symbol indicates that only the version-specific
components of a perl installation should be installed.
This may be useful for making a test installation of a new
version without disturbing the existing installation.
Setting versiononly is equivalent to setting installperl's -v option.
In particular, the non-versioned scripts and programs such as
a2p, c2ph, h2xs, pod2*, and perldoc are not installed
(see INSTALL for a more complete list). Nor are the man
pages installed.
Usually, this is undef.
#####
If you reconfigure without '-Dversiononly', do you get better results?
That being said, when I configured perl-5.24.0 on an even older Darwin/PPC with the exact same arguments as you, I got entries in config.sh like:
#####
installbin='//bin'
...
installman1dir='//share/man/man1'
...
installprefix='/'
...
installscript=''/bin'
...
installsitebin='//local/bin'
etc.
#####
All of which is similar to your undesired results.
Thank you very much.
