Hi,
I'm new to perl. I recently installed RHEL 5.5 (it's the only Linux dist
allowed at my work place) and tried to upgrade from perl 5.8.8 (which came
with RHEL) to v 5.12.2. I didn't get any errors after going through the
config shell, make test, make install steps. But when I ask what the new
version is (perl -v), it still tells me 5.8.8. The RHEL tech support can't
help me as this is, for them, an unsupported perl version. Is there a way to
do this (I would need detailed instruction)? It doesn't necessarily need to
be v 5.12.2, but at least 5.10 and above.
many thanks,
galeb
What's in your $PATH ? The perl that comes with your Linux is normally
in /usr/bin and the ones you compile is placed in /usr/local/bin by
default. It's the first perl it finds in the $PATH that is executed.
