Configure usage message deleted ...] and the 'make' halts. However, I can then just 'cd work/perl5.001m' and run Configure manually and it works fine (it even passes all the tests correctly, which no previous version of Perl 5 has done). On a slightly related note, shouldn't the default manpath be /usr/local/man and then /usr/share/man? That way any updated manual pages from packages are found first? I tried editing /etc/manpath.config to put /usr/local/man's MANDATORY_MANPATH before /usr/share/man's, but it didn't work. In the end I just set the MANPATH variable in the global .cshrc.
