sh Configure -Dinc_version_list=none ...
+If you do want to use modules from some previous perl versions, the variable
+must contain a space separated list of directories under the site_perl
+directory, and has to include architecture-dependent directories separately,
+eg.

+ sh Configure -Dinc_version_list="5.12.0/x86_64-linux 5.12.0" ...

$PERL5LIB environment variable or with perl's -I runtime option.
