I have tried installing perl 5.24.0 on an old PPC machine, with the configuration below, but it installed the perl binary and the scripts in /bin, even though I specified a prefix of /usr.
I don’t know exactly which option is responsible for the bug, but I do find it really strange.
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 file or directory
$ 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.
$ which perl5.24.0
/bin/perl5.24.0
$ perl5.24.0 -V
