The docs say this can be done, and that using something like: sh Configure -Dprefix=/opt/perl5.8 Ought to do the trick. But has anyone ever tried this for real? I really cannot afford to lose my Perl 5.005_03, as a great many applications I run depend on it, and the additional packages that were installed over the years (many xs). So, can I install Perl 5.8 in such a way as will leave my entire 5.005_03 intact?
