It is also easy to never implicate your /usr/bin/perl in anything. I'd just prefer to quote myself at http://mail.pm.org/pipermail/spug-list/2007-April/007823.html in saying that it's an easier administration task to leave the OS perl alone and have a separate /opt/blah/blah/blah perl for your "real" work. -- Josh
