How to Install The Latest Perl version 5.10

Asked by udaykiranchapala

Hello everyone.
I am basically a windows user, and i've recently shifted to Ubuntu.

I actually need to install below CPAN modules

Net::SSLeay
IO::Socket::SSL (requires Net::SSLeay)
Net::LDAP (requires IO::Socket::SSL)

and
libnet-1.22

I have downloaded the Net::SSLeay package from CPAN site and tried to install with terminal by

perl Makefile.PL
sudo make
sudo make test
sudo make install

which gave me the error saying

*** Found OpenSSL-0.9.8g installed in /usr
*** Be sure to use the same compiler and options to compile your OpenSSL, perl,
and Net::SSLeay. Mixing and matching compilers is not supported.

and while installing libnet it says

system already has 0.38 version.

I tried to uninstall these from the synaptic pakage manager, but was uninstalling almost everthing and has caused great system instability.

Finally I searched on the answers.launchpad.net and found that installing
libio-socket-ssl-perl_1.13-1_all and libnet-ssleay-perl_1.35-1ubuntu1_i386 would help.
I have downloaded the intrepid .deb packages of them and libio-socket-ssl-perl_1.13-1 got successfully installed and while installing libnet-ssleay-perl_1.35-1ubuntu1_i386 was showing an error
Dependency not satisfiable: perl

I tried to install the latest perl 5.10 by downloading another deb package and it shows
dependency perl-base
when i was installing perl-base it says

dpkg: regarding .../perl-base_5.10.0-11.1ubuntu2_i386.deb containing perl-base:
 perl-base breaks doc-base (<<0.8.16)
dpkg: error processing /home/sympa/Desktop/perl-base_5.10.0.11.1ubuntu2_i386.deb (--install):
installing perl-base would break doc base, and deconfiguration is not permitted.

when i tried to install perl manually it returned make [1] after make install.
After this I again tried to install libnet-ssleay-perl_1.35-1ubuntu1_i386 but with no success.

Can anyone please help me with this.
Thanks in advance.

Regards,
UdayKiran Chapala.

Sorry, this is support list for UCK, not for Perl. Try asking on
ubuntu-user mailing list.

Can you help with this problem?
