Thanks, only you giving the solution, it's funny that the post has reach 13 messages 
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.perl.misc/browse_thread/thread/e9cbd2f411ab8ae5/b3150d4213c187ca?#b3150d4213c187ca
But most people are just talking about multi-post. Even multi-post I still have not got the solution.


I ran,
./Configure -Dusethreads -Dprefix=~/p/perl/ -Doptimize='-g'
make

But got errors

Even so, I execute
sudo make install

Although it give some more errors, I have the new perl executable in the new directory ~/p/perl

The new interpreter seems to work fine though.
