title: Building a specific version of Perl in a specific place
body: <p>I would like to build a version of Perl that is separate from the system version.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Initially in my own directory ~/perl/perl-5.12.3</li>
  <li>Eventaully I want to install it in /usr/local/perl-5.12.3</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I realise that <code>perlbrew</code> will help with the 1. but not (as I understand it) 2.  So I think I would be better building it by hand.</p>
  
  <p>What option do I need to give go <code>Configure.sh</code> to get it to install in a particular directory - and not try and install into my own directory (and not try to install man pages into  /usr/local/man/man1)</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update</strong>
  Followed instruction below. This corrects the <code>bin = /usr/local/bin</code> but I am still getting following. Do I need to configure this separately</p>
  
  <pre><code>scriptdir = /usr/local/bin
  shrpdir = /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.12.3/i686-linux/CORE
  man1dir = /usr/local/man/man1
  man3dir = /usr/local/man/man3
  </code></pre>
