Perl 5.8.8 Installation
From QNAPedia
This installation is substituted by a series of new QPKG, currently in Beta testing. Please refer to this <a href="http://forum.qnap.com/viewforum.php?f=150&p=39615">QNAP Forum Tread</a>. Follow up any issues in the forum.

Download and install Perl
Download the pre-compiled Perl CLI (5.8.8) and the required libraries from <a href="ftp://csdread:csdread@ftp.qnap.com/NAS/perl5/perl-5.8.8.tar.gz">here</a> to your /share/Public.
(please note that due to the root filesystem size limitation, the installation path and associated files are not the same as the standard Perl installation.)
Untar the archive and copy all the Perl binaries to /usr/bin
Untar the file archive to /mnt/HDA_ROOT:
# cd /share/Public
# tar -C /mnt/HDA_ROOT -zxvf perl-5.8.8.tar.gz
Next copy all the files under the 'perl' directory which we have just untarred.
# cd /mnt/HDA_ROOT/perl
# cp -af bin/* /usr/bin
Creating symbolic links under /usr/lib pointing to the Perl libraries
# ln -sf /mnt/HDA_ROOT/perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib
# ln -sf /mnt/HDA_ROOT/perl/site_perl /usr/lib
# ln -sf /lib/ld-2.3.4.so /lib/ld.so.1
Preserving your symbolic link to survive on reboot
Refer to the guide on <a href="Autorun.sh">editing the Autorun.sh</a> file which will preserve your changes made above. Add the following line at the bottom of autorun.sh file:
## Perl required symblic link ln -sf /lib/ld-2.3.4.so /lib/ld.so.1
Test your installation
To test to see if Perl can locate the libararies it needs and run successfully:
# perl -V
you should get something like below:
