Rather than being scolding, could you show any info helpful?

To OP:

I have re-installed Perl for many times due to the requirement of
modperl, without meeting a problem.
This was the general way I took:

cd perl-5.8.8
./Configure -des -Uusethreads
make && make test && make install
cd /usr/bin
mv perl perl.old
ln -s /usr/local/bin/perl .

New perl (ie, the 5.8.8 one) will be installed under /usr/local/bin/perl.
If you need threads support, don't use the '-Uusethreads' option.
After installtion,link the new perl to the standard path of /usr/bin/perl.

Good luck.
