The more usual way to handle this sort of thing is to put each version

of perl on this machine that I select that way ... it doesn't require
any special smarts on the part of the perl-using program, and it
scales
to handle multiple versions of other things like Tcl, too.
I would normally do that, as well, but in this case, I wanted my self-
compiled Perl to always be what runs (as a general rule), so I had it
hard link itself in /usr/bin as well as /usr/local/bin. It is only in
this one case where I need the stock Perl to be found that things get
wonky for me. :-)
Best,
