I have looked over the mailing list interface but nothing was there for perl 5.6.1 installation, therefore, Steve Werby commented on the procedure as follows:
********************** /usr/local/perl-5.6.1 Download perl 5.6.1 from perl.com tar xfvz perl-5.6.1.tar.gz (I think the file is actually called stable.tar.gz but I rename it when I save it on my server so I know what it is) cd perl-5.6.1 sh Configure # It will ask you some questions. # When you get to question of # Installation prefix to use? (~name ok) [/usr/local] # Type something like: /usr/local/perl-5.6.1 ********************** The question now is that how do I know if the Cobalt GUI is broken or no - I did "make install" and the new version of perl is installed - I can browse the GUI but is there a way or an area that may be affected and which I can test to see if the perl installation went all OK?!

Yes. Install it in a non-standard location so it doesn't overwrite or interfere with the current install. Otherwise you'll break a lot of Perl scripts on the server. Then when you want to use 5.6 just point the script's shebang line to the location of the 5.6 perl binary. -- Steve Werby President, Befriend Internet Services LLC http://www.befriend.com/ _______________________________________________ cobalt-developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-developers _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
