perl 5.8.8 and gcc

[mrn]

Anyone know how to force perl 5.8.8 to use gcc instead of cc?

In 5.8.7 you could specify change_config_pm gcc. In 5.8.8 if both cc & gcc are installed it defaults to cc

I never had to use gcc with perl, but from what I know you have to choose gcc while you compiling perl from source.

You can compile Perl using either the cc or using gcc.

But that's my point. I'm not compiling from source but installing a package (depot)

On the command-line do:

% setenv CC GCC
