  1. Make sure you have Perl 5.003 or higher already
     installed on your system. The perl program should be in your path. If you
     have different perl binaries in your path the program with the latest
     version number will be used.

  2. Compile the ePerl interpreter
  
     $ ./configure --prefix=/path/to/eperl/root
     $ make

  3. Optionally you can run a test suite now

     $ make test

  3. Install it into /path/to/eperl/root/{bin,man}
   
     $ make install

  4. Aditionally install it into your HTTP Server
  
     $ cp eperl /path/to/apache/cgi-bin/nph-eperl

     When you also want UID-switching, you have to enable the setuid bit:

     $ chown root /path/to/apache/cgi-bin/nph-eperl
     $ chmod u+s  /path/to/apache/cgi-bin/nph-eperl
     
     Finally configure your webserver to process all pages with extension
     '.phtml' via the ePerl NPH-CGI/1.1 program. For an Apache webserver add
     the following to your httpd.conf file:

     AddType      application/x-httpd-eperl  .phtml .eperl .epl
     Action       application/x-httpd-eperl  /internal/cgi/nph-eperl
     ScriptAlias  /internal/cgi              /path/to/apache/cgi-bin
