Hello Perl300, Since you are running *nix, I'll comment on what I do. Typically, I have at least 3 or 4 Perls on any *nix boxes that I am the admin for. I use the '/usr/local/bin/' to have a symbolic link to the 'non-system' Perl, which I usually install in '/usr/opt/'. Today, I never touch the system Perl and all updates come from the OS update mechanism. So let's do an example:
If you want to use 'cpan' on the command line, then do a link to the specific one ( ie, mycpan ). I find it easier to Note 1: I've found problems with Perls that are not owned by root. YMMV. Note 2: I usually have 2 Perls for each version, 1 with threads and 1 without. On the *nixes I use, threads has a lot of overhead.
