Re: installing perl 5.8.6

[Ed Summers]

Does this mean that I have to change the first line of my script to
/m1/shared/bin/perl to get it to point to 5.8.5 vs. /usr/bin/perl?
Yeah, or to make it more explicit you could create a symlink:
        ln -s /m1/shared/bin/perl /usr/bin/perl5.8.5
and then use:
        #!/usr/bin/perl5.8.5
One thing to keep in mind is when you install new modules you'll 
probably want to:

        perl5.8.5 Makefile.PL
        make
        make test
        make install
So that the modules are available under perl5.8.5. That's a neat 
utility, thanks for posting Michael.
