Kindra,
If you don't want to change the "shebang" (the first line of your

Kindra, I am sure other people will give you
more concrete advice.
But you probably want to make sure not to
uninstall the perl 5.005 - some pages on the net
note that this package is used by some Sun utilities.
Just keep the previous in place, and install 5.8.6 in addition,
by putting the new one
Hi Kindra,
Although you are only aware of the one Perl installation on your server,
there are probably at least two others. A new Sun server from Endeavor
will have Solaris 9, which comes with Perl 5.005 and Perl 5.6. In
addition, as part of the Voyager software installation, you will have
Perl
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

guru in all things un
