# 5.29. Perl-5.24.0

The Perl package contains the Practical Extraction and Report Language.

Approximate build time: 1.3 SBU
Required disk space: 248 MB

## 5.29.1. Installation of Perl

Prepare Perl for compilation:

    sh Configure -des -Dprefix=/tools -Dlibs=-lm

Build the package:

    make

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

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

    cp -v perl cpan/podlators/scripts/pod2man /tools/bin
    mkdir -pv /tools/lib/perl5/5.24.0
    cp -Rv lib/* /tools/lib/perl5/5.24.0

Details on this package are located in Section 6.40.2, “Contents of Perl.”
