Or put /usr/local/bin early on your path so that a plain "perl" or "cpan" will pick up the /usr/local/bin versions. Just be careful that you don't inadvertently call some other program in /usr/local/bin now having different behaviour to what would otherwise have been called. -- Paul Johnson - p...@pjcj.net http://www.pjcj.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
