compile problems with 5.6.1 - yes that is 5.6.1

Hi,

One of our clients runs on perl 5.6.1 and we're migrating
them to 5.8.8 
as part of a larger project. I'm trying to install 5.6.1
from source 
into a specific directory for testing. This is on debian
with gcc, a 2.6 
kernel and 3.81 GNU make

I've downloaded the source, run Configure, accepted all the
defaults 
except I would like it installed to /data/perl-5.6.1 since
the system 
perl is 5.8.8. Configure and make depend complete without
any problems, 
however when I run make I get

make: *** No rule to make target `<built-in>', needed
by `miniperlmain.o'.

as soon as it starts.

Now a quick google shows that I'm not the only one who has
this problem 
but I can't quite believe that editing the makefile directly
(note that 
there is a Makefile and a makefile) to remove references to
<built-in> 
(suggested fix) is required. This seems to be an error
created within 
the perl 5.6.1 configure script.

I just wondered if anyone else has come across this.

regards,

Paul

You need to get 5.6.2. There are no code changes wrt 5.6.1,
but
changes to the build system that (notably) fix this.
