Nope. With a current updatedb locate found one perl.exe under
/usr/bin. When I renamed this perl.exe to perly.exe and copied the
version that worked from my machine and did a version check while in
/usr/bin I get
./perly - v returned 5.8.8 (original questionable perl)
./perl -v returned 5.8.7 (perl from working box)
Everything I have checked points to just one Perl installation. So
maybe the question here is where did this version come from?
That is indeed a good question, since the latest available 'perl' from
kernel.org is 5.8.7-5. The full output of 'perly -v' (that's the
questionable perl) may tell you something.
They look very simular other than revision.

Looking closer I see there is a perl -V test that shows much more information.
I didn't check that out. Unfortunately the other machine won't be back on line
until next week. Will to the -V test and see what it looks like. Still curious
as to how it got uploaded to at least one mirror.
