Note that the perl installation process also offers to make a /usr/bin/perl symlink when the binary is installed elsewhere (such as under /usr/local). If that is the case, you'll probably need to do something like this: rm -f /usr/bin/perl ln /usr/bin/perl5.6.1 /usr/bin/perl --bod -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
