ford has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hi,
I am working on UNIX machine which has got Perl-5.6.1 by default.As i need Perl 5.8.8 I set some environment variables and convert 5.6.1 to 5.8.8 . this i do it manually all the time. can anyone suggest me any way so that the environment variables get set permanently and i don't have to keep setting all the time.
Thanks in Advance
Ford..

Hi,
Thanks for the advice. I am able to set the environment variables manually. But is there anyway so that these variables get set permanently.
Thanks in Advance

What are you actually doing? You have code that needs Perl 5.8.8 and you make what pretend that you have something more modern than 5.6.1?
update: aha, reading the below reply it all becomes clearer, even to me. You HAVE both 5.6.1 and 5.8.8, but the default environment is for 5.6.1? Then Andreas advice is very good.
