reinstall perl

Hello, I have perl interpreter install using sypnatic package manager, now I want to reinstall perl from the source code with different configuration setting. Should I remove the perl first from the sypnatic package ? when I try to to so they are a lot of package that depend on perl, it seems unwise. So I just resinstall from source directly,

./Configure -doptimize='-g'
make
Making x2p stuff
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/william/p/perl-5.8.8/x2p'
You haven't done a "make depend" yet!
make[1]: *** [hash.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/william/p/perl-5.8.8/x2p'
make: *** [translators] Error 2

When I run
make depend

sh ./makedepend MAKE=make
./makedepend: Already running, exiting.
test -s perlmain.c && touch perlmain.c
cd x2p; make depend
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/william/p/perl-5.8.8/x2p'
sh ../makedepend MAKE=make
../makedepend: Already running, exiting.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/william/p/perl-5.8.8/x2p'
