You can find out easily by executing: which perl at the command line. If you are running Red Hat your Perl is probably /usr/bin/perl, but many programs (and I think the default install of Perl) choose /usr/local/bin/perl instead. If you would like to run those programs without modification you can make a symbolic link: ln -s /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/perl as root.

It should point to where perl is installed on your system.
