If you are in a shared environment, just install Perl in your home =
directory, then set your PATH and PERL5LIB environmental variables to =
this new path.

For what its worth, Perl 5.8.x is so much better at handling =
multi-lingual text (than previous versions) that you will most likely =
bang your head against a brick wall, trying to get earlier versions of =
Perl to work as expected.

Also, 5.005_03 is a very old version...  probably the system default =
Perl which is used for boot scripts, etc... this usually means that =
there will be another version of Perl installed on the machine... this =
scenario is often done on FreeBSD machines.
