[rt-users] Perl 5.8.3 upgrade

[matthew zeier]

How did you build 5.8.3?  I grabbed the config_args from Redhat's perl 
(perl -V) and did the following:

mrz at help2 [~/work/build/perl-5.8.3/] 153> cat runme
sh Configure  -des -D'optimize=-O2 -g -pipe -march=i386 -mcpu=i686' \
-Dmyhostname=localhost -Dperladmin=root at localhost -Dcc=gcc \
-Dinstallprefix=/usr -Dprefix=/usr \
-Darchname=i386-linux -Dvendorprefix=/usr -Dsiteprefix=/usr \
-Dotherlibdirs=/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0 -Duseshrplib -Dusethreads \
-Duseithreads -Duselargefiles -Dd_dosuid -Dd_semctl_semun -Di_db \
-Ui_ndbm -Di_gdbm -Di_shadow -Di_syslog -Dman3ext=3pm -Duseperlio \
-Dinstallusrbinperl -Ubincompat5005 -Uversiononly  \
-Dpager='/usr/bin/less -isr' \
-Dcf_by='InteleNet - mrz'

I appear to have had the same problems you did, however, and had to 
reinstall the RPM.
