>It never found a file labelled "perl5" Which is OK. The script assumes the first thing it finds named "perl5" or "perl" is good enough.
>But, *Yes*, the loop terminated when a match was found on 'perl'. So now (or all along) it's saying "checking for perl... yes"? If that's the case, then everything is fine. When it says it is "checking for XXX" it means it's looking for program actually *named* "XXX". Your version of Perl 5 happens to be named "perl", not "perl5", which is fine. >So, it would appear that the script determines version numbers based >on file names... Not quite. It just knows several names a given "feature" (Perl) might be known as and goes hunting for the "best" (however it wants to define that) one it can find. >dk John R.
