<dd>For some of the support scripts like <code class="program"><a href="./programs/apxs.html">apxs</a></code> or <code class="program"><a href="./programs/dbmmanage.html">dbmmanage</a></code> (which are
written in Perl) the Perl 5 interpreter is required (versions
- 5.003 or newer are sufficient). If no such interpreter is found by
- the <code class="program"><a href="./programs/configure.html">configure</a></code> script there is no harm. Of course, you
- still can build and install Apache 2.0. Only those support scripts
- cannot be used. If you have multiple Perl interpreters
- installed (perhaps a Perl 4 from the vendor and a Perl 5 from
- your own), then it is recommended to use the <code>--with-perl</code>
- option (see below) to make sure the correct one is selected
- by <code class="program"><a href="./programs/configure.html">configure</a></code>.</dd>
+ 5.003 or newer are sufficient). If you have multiple Perl
+ interpreters (for example, a systemwide install of Perl 4, and
+ your own install of Perl 5), you are advised to use the
+ <code>--with-perl</code> option (see below) to make sure the
+ correct one is used by <code class="program"><a href="./programs/configure.html">configure</a></code>.
+ If no Perl 5 interpreter is found by the
+ <code class="program"><a href="./programs/configure.html">configure</a></code> script, you will not be able to use
+ the affected support scripts. Of course, you will still be able to
+ build and use Apache 2.0.</dd>
