Compiling Perl 5.36.0 fails on OS X 10.5.8 PowerPC

[Ahven]

I need a newer version of Perl to an Apple Power G5 running OS X 10.5.8. The system is supposed to be standard with all the updates Apple provides and the latest XCode available to it.

I'm trying to install Perl 5.36.0 from source tar ball following this guide:

https://perldoc.perl.org/perlmacosx

After unpacking the tar ball with
[pre]gunzip < perl-5.36.0.tar.gz | tar xfv -[/pre]

I run:
[pre]SDK=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk ./Configure -Dprefix=$HOME/opt/perl -Uloclibpth -Dlibpth=/usr/lib -Accflags="-nostdinc -B$SDK/usr/include/gcc -B$SDK/usr/lib/gcc -isystem$SDK/usr/include -F$SDK/System/Library/Frameworks" -Aldflags="-Wl,-syslibroot,$SDK" -de[/pre]

I have tried many other ways also but [tt]make[/tt] always fails with:

[pre]cc -c -std=gnu99 -fno-common -DPERL_DARWIN -nostdinc -B/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk//usr/include/gcc -B/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk//usr/lib/gcc -isystem/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk//usr/include -F/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk//System/Library/Frameworks -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -fstack-protector -I/opt/local/include -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -DPERL_USE_SAFE_PUTENV -Wall -Wextra -Wno-long-long -Wno-declaration-after-statement -Wwrite-strings -Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration -O3 -DVERSION=\"1.52\" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.52\" "-I../.." -DLIBC="" DynaLoader.c

Any ideas?

Maybe try installing it through homebrew:
