Goal

Below problem is observed during the installation/compilation of Perl 5.30.1, a pre-requisite for installing Oracle Communication Billing and Revenue Management (BRM) 12.0.0.3.0 version.

The user has followed the steps mentioned on the below documentation section, "Installing Perl on Linux":
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E51000_01/doc.120/e51014/installing-brm3.htm#BRMIG-GUID-E07EA7E9-64B4-47A7-8656-033FCF4DC67E

1) Install the required 32-bit libraries by doing this:
    yum -y install gdbm-devel.i686
    yum -y install libdb-devel.i686

2) Set the environment variable for installing Perl by running this command:
    For Bash shell:
    export -n PATH
    export -n LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    export PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin

3) Download perl-5.30.1(perl-5.30.1.tar.gz) from https://www.cpan.org/src/5.0/ and copied in a temp_dir.

4) Go to temp_dir and unzip the source code by running this command:
    gunzip perl-5.30.1.tar.gz
    tar xf perl-5.30.1.tar

5) Run below command:
    cd perl-5.30.1
    sh Configure -des -Dcc="gcc -m32" -Dusethreads -Duserelocatableinc -Dprefix=<perl_path>

    where <perl_path> is the directory in which you want to install Perl.

6) Run make

7) Run make test

8) Run make install

After successful installation, the user checked the <perl_path> and observed that there were no perl files installed/available. Also the "perl -v" output was showing incorrect/old perl version.
