Good point, if you don't have much experience using Sun and such it's
probably easier to just download a newer perl from sunfreeware (e.g.
ftp://ftp.sunfreeware.com/pub/freeware/intel/8/perl-5.8.0-sol8-intel-local.g
z ) and install that one. Make sure you put /usr/local/bin first in your
path, or specifiy #!/usr/local/bin/perl as first line in all your perl
scripts.
I don't know if Sun's own tools use perl directly so I'm not sure if you can
just remove the OS supplied perl.
