[Zope-Perl] pyperl MULTI_BUILD option

[Eric Roby]

I have downloaded and installed the latest versions of Active
Perl/Python on a linux platform.  My environments are correctly set and
I was able to use the 'pyppm install pyperl' to build pyperl.  However,
when I install the latest zoperl (version 1.0 beta5 - moving the
components into the Zope structure) and try to run the 'perl install.pl'
from zoperl I continually get the message: "pyperl must be built with
the MULTI_PERL option".  The message at the top of the INSTALL.txt file
mentions the following:

"Installation requires that pyperl-1.0.beta6 or better is installed for
the python interpreter driving Zope.  The 'pyperl' distribution must
have been built with MULTI_PERL support, which by itself requires
linking to perl-5.6 or better with interpreter thread support (enabled
with -Dusethreads option to perl's Configure command)."

I am assuming that using the python package manager would install the
latest pyperl or am I mistaken...?

Without successfully installing zoperl, my zope server seems to pickup
the "unrestricted Perl" and the database adapter products fine.  I
haven't tried them but I am assuming that this last step (installing
zoperl) is to provide for "restricted Perl scripting" capabilities...?

Any insight would be appreciated...
