 Fedora has /bin/perl, Debian has /usr/bin/perl.  Since I still have
 Fedora on the desktop and Debian on the VMs, I need compatibility.

Thanks, it works fine this way --- just not the other way round.

 The trouble with this is perl -w doesn't work.

 I think you're right, /usr/bin/perl should work just about everywhere.

/bin/perl vs. /usr/bin/perl

2014-11-01 Thread lee
Hi,

what's the proposed Debian way to deal with a different location of the
'perl' executable?

Fedora has /bin/perl, Debian has /usr/bin/perl.  Since I still have
Fedora on the desktop and Debian on the VMs, I need compatibility.
