common questions. The core of this message represents an excerpt
from the documentation provided with Perl.

2.5: I grabbed the sources and tried to compile but gdbm/dynamic loading/malloc/linking/... failed. How do I make it work?
Read the INSTALL file, which is part of the source distribution. It
describes in detail how to cope with most idiosyncrasies that the
Configure script can't work around for any given system or architecture.
