Perl Source Based Installation

Perl Source Based Installation


Sometimes we get request to install Perl’s new version along with default OS Perl version (which was installed by RPM). In this case we need to install Perl by building it from the source code as below:-

1.     Download required Perl version from below link.
http://www.cpan.org/src/

2.     Follow below steps to perform installation :
[root]# cd /tmp
tar -xzf perl-5.10.1.tar.gz
      [root]# cd perl-5.10.1
[root]#./Configure -des -Dprefix=/usr/local/perl5.10  <-- desired path will be    here
[root]# make
[root]# make test
[root]# make install

3.     After installation we can see new Perl location as below :-
[root ]# whereis perl
perl: /usr/bin/perl  /usr/local/bin/perl  /usr/local/perl5.10 

Now ask user to use new Perl path in their scripts/work instead of default Perl path which is /usr/bin/perl.

How to run fdisk in non-interactive mode

fdisk is a command-line utility for disk partition management.If you are going to create one or two partition then its okay to go with manual user intracetion method of fdisk. But if the partition list is a bit longer or we can say its repitative for several machines then need to seek some automation , here we go for probable two solutions for this : - Solution - I : Using below shell script #!/bin/sh sdd="/dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd" for i in $sdd do echo "n p 1 t 8e w "|fdisk $i;pvcreate "$i"1;done n = Create new partition p = Primary partition 1 = 1st partition of primary type t = Partition type 8e = Linux LVM Note: two consicuitve blank lines between 1 and t . Solution - II : Using sfdisk Utility This tool allows you to create/change partition tables according to the disk partitioning specification read from standard input. It also allows you to export the partition table specification of a device to a file, so tha...
