使用Perlbrew安装古老的perls

Question

我正在尝试使用perlbrew来安装一些较旧的Perl。我认为这是由于老式的版本号导致的失败。根据perlbrew available的说法

  perl-5.14.3-RC1
  perl-5.16.1
  perl-5.14.2
  perl-5.12.4
  perl-5.10.1
  perl-5.8.9
  perl-5.6.2
  perl5.005_04
  perl5.004_05
  perl5.003_07

但是，当我运行perlbrew install perl5.003_07时，我得到：

 Unknown installation target "perl5.003_07", abort. Please see
 `perlbrew help` for the instruction on using the install command.

如果我尝试直接链接到tarball，例如perlbrew install http://www.cpan.org/src/5.0/perl5.005_03.tar.gz，它会下载tarball，但用于解析版本号的正则表达式失败：

Use of uninitialized value $dist_version in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/local/share/perl5/App/perlbrew.pm line 686.
Fetching perl- as /home/cpanci/perl5/perlbrew/dists/perl5.005_03.tar.gz
Use of uninitialized value $dist_version in pattern match (m//) at /usr/local/share/perl5/App/perlbrew.pm line 925.
Installing /home/cpanci/perl5/perlbrew/build/perl5.005_03 into ~/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-

This could take a while. You can run the following command on another shell to track the status:

  tail -f ~/perl5/perlbrew/build.perl-.log

Use of uninitialized value $dist_version in pattern match (m//) at /usr/local/share/perl5/App/perlbrew.pm line 952.
Use of uninitialized value $dist_version in pattern match (m//) at /usr/local/share/perl5/App/perlbrew.pm line 969.

Installing /home/cpanci/perl5/perlbrew/build/perl5.005_03 failed. Read /home/cpanci/perl5/perlbrew/build.perl-.log to spot any
issues. 

有什么想法吗？它对较新的perls运行得很好。

这是App::perlbrew版本0.52。

我想你被困在perlbrew上了。我可以通过重命名tarball perl-5.5.3.tar.gz并在perl5/perlbrew/build中创建符号链接来获得一些方法，如下所示：

lrwxrwxrwx  1 darch users   12 Oct  8 14:16 perl-5.5.3 -> perl5.005_03

，但在这一点上，它试图用它不理解的选项运行5.5.3的Configure。在我看来，尝试用perlbrew构建如此古老的Perls实际上并不受支持，因为它确实愉快地列出了它们。
