<para>If you want more control over the way Perl sets itself up to be

built, you can run the interactive <userinput>Configure</userinput> script
|

instead and modify the way Perl is built. If you think you can live with the
|

(sensible) defaults Perl auto-detects, then just use the command listed

above.</para>

<para>This package has a test suite available which can perform a number of
|
|
checks to ensure it built correctly. Should you choose to run it, you first
|
|
have to create a basic <filename>/etc/hosts</filename> file, needed by a
|
|
couple of tests to resolve the name <emphasis>localhost</emphasis>:</para>
