perl 5.6.2

It is easy.

Just Refer, INSTALL file in source. It will give all steps as,

# ./configure --PREFIX=
# make
# make test
# make install

or else get depot from,

http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Languages/perl-5.8.6/

hth.

It may not be an easy task to do if you enable optional components..

#gunzip
#./Configure --help
#./Configure --
#gmake
#gmake test
# gmake install

Procura is the BEST person to answer this question..

Installation steps are from documentation as,

Perl-5.6.2 download:
