Hi everyone, I'm new here, and I'm here because I need some major assistance.
We recently purchased a new Sun server through Endeavor. Unfortunately, perl 5.005 is installed on it vs. the 5.8.x that we had installed on our old server. My predecessor (who was much more of a guru in all things unix/perl than I) programmed several customized applications in perl 5.8.x that work on the old server, but unfortunately don't work with perl 5.005 apparently. My question is: how do I uninstall 5.005 and reinstall 5.8.6? I downloaded the stable.tar.gz from http://www.perl.com/download.csp. I am fairly familiar with unix commands and some really basic programming (I'm more of a VB programmer though). I get a little anxious when I'm messing around with stuff on our server, so if anyone has a resource or step-by-step instructions they could forward me, I would really appreciate it.
