Thread: Installing plperl

I really don't understand the process to install plperl. This is what I've
done:

1) compile perl5 with shared object support.
2) compile postgres with the --with-perl option
3) compile whatever is in postgresql/interfaces/perl5/
4) lastly compile postgresql/pl/perl/ to get the plperl.so file
5) createlang plperl

Can anyone describe the process with a bit more explanation?

That's it.  If any part is given particular problems, please send specific
inquiries.
