hello,

I am new to unix and having some trouble with getting the daily,weekly
and monthly programs to execute. Eg if i type daily and then return i
get
command not found. The same problem also occurs when i write a file to
be interpreted PERL eg somefile ( do chmod +x somefile to make it
executable) and then press return. From this i get command notfound.
What am i doing wrong, some assitance would be appreciated.

Also if you install the PERL5 package will it write over the existing
PERL4.036 or create a new directory giving you a system with two
versions of PERL.I am running Freebsd2.2.6.


regards

Guy
