" I should like to get perl 4 for the 2.0 release. Have " I missed it somewhere? It's in there. But 'which perl' will show /usr/bin/perl, whereas most perl scripts begin with '#!/usr/local/bin/perl' 8-( This is a problem in more than one area. Some nitty gritty scripts which attempt portability will reference things like /bin/true --and of course, that's /usr/bin/true in FreeBSD! My cure is to leave the software alone, and make symlinks as needed to keep the scripts happy. I still write perl '#!/usr/local/bin/perl'.
