The Perl package contains the Practical Extraction and Report Language.
Prepare Perl for compilation:
sh Configure -des -Dprefix=/tools -Dlibs=-lm
Build the package:
make
Although Perl comes with a test suite, it would be better to wait until it is installed in the next chapter.
Only a few of the utilities and libraries need to be installed at this time:
mkdir -pv debian/tmp/tools/bin debian/tmp/tools/lib/perl5/5.20.2 cp -v perl cpan/podlators/pod2man debian/tmp/tools/bin cp -Rv lib/* debian/tmp/tools/lib/perl5/5.20.2
Fix permissions of the Perl modules:
chmod --changes -R u+w debian/tmp/tools/lib/perl5/5.20.2
Create the package archive:
buildpkg --package=perl-pass1
Install the package:
dpkg -i ../perl-pass1_5.20.2_*.deb
