hello,

i would like to upgrade perl to 5.8.0
i currently have 5.6.1

i use redhat and perl was originally installed as a precompiled binary
(.rpm)

i started out with 5.6.0
and somehow it got updated to 5.6.1

maybe i updated the .rpm or it could have happened with CPAN?

i have use 'perl -MCPAN -e shell'      ;    install New::Module

i have never compiled perl from scratch

i have downloaded 5.8.0 and untarred it, as a regular user (non root)

i am worried that if i compile it the redhat version will not be removed.
or i will have other problems

what is the best way to proceed?

the main reason i want to upgrade is i want to print out a lot of the
documentation,
and i figure if i am going to print it out, i should have the latest
version.

thanks for your time and help,

Randy Perkins
