On Friday November 14, 1997, Daniel Leeds <dleeds@dfacades.com> had this to say about "perl on 2.2.5": > > > i notice perl is version 4 on 2.2.x which is fine. > > if i wish to compile perl 5.004_01 also, can i rename the /usr/bin/perl > to perl4 and install perl5 in /usr/local without them clobbering each > others necessary files?? > I've actually been deleteing perl from /usr/bin and /usr/share/perl since 2.1.7 and installing the latest version(s) of perl in /usr/local.
