Perl update

[carlos_83]

I have Perl 5.6.1 installed on a server running hp-ux 11i 64bits. I want to update to the newest version 5.8.1. I've downloaded this last one directly from https://www.beepz.com/personal/merijn/, but it didn't work. I tried with the one from HP, but it was the 32-bits version. I want to use Perl to compile an oracle script, but is there any problem if I install the 32-bits version?? Won't I have any problems with operating system or oracle?? I tried to remove the 5.6.1 version which was preinstalled on the server, but it wasn't successful. How can I do to update to the newest version?

Download the source from perl.com, stable.tar, and build it with configure, make and make install.

It is standart source-distribution and was compiled without problems on all OS-versions.
