I try many way to just upgrade to lastest stable version of perl\, because my company need Mail​::SpamAssassin to filter junk mail for our client.

I think is good to have "some where" I can find the installation help. As I browse for perl.com for few days\, I fail to find any useful and easy to understand information if "make test" just break.

The only links I can find is like this http​://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.daily-build.reports/7230

t/op/lfs..................................FAILED at test 6

This is the test for Large File Support\, files over 2 gigs in size. Test #6 is attempting to do a tell() on a 4.5 gig sparse file and failed. Other tests further down could also have failed.

If you don't plan on using large files I wouldn't worry about it and just go ahead and install that Perl.

The reason it failed is because you're using a rather old version of Linux (2.2.14) and a rather old compiler (gcc 2.8.1). I would recommend upgrading if for no other reason than that 2.2.14 has security holes. And I see you're using SMP\, if you actually are running a multiprocessor machine you should see a nice performance boost with a newer kernel.

The general advice is in the INSTALL file\, in the section

  =head2 What if make test doesn't work?

Any suggestions to enhance that section or to make it easier to find would be welcome.

From @richardfoley

Try looking in the INSTALL and README files for the string 'make test'\, in the source distribution you are using\, you will find there are many hints and suggestions in there.

You could also try the file t/README.

Hi guys\,

Thanks for the help. I upgrade the system gcc library and the kernel. Then it works fine with me now.

Filesystem of DFS\, AFS\, NFS? are they the third field of `cat /etc/fstab` ? btw my company use "ext2" or "etx3" only.

Again\, thanks guy.
