Raymond, You can usually force a change to a particular installation of perl by invoking that installation's perl binary, like: /usr/bin/perl -MCPAN -e shell or: /usr/local/bin/perl -MCPAN -e shell for CPAN installs, and for manual installations: /usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL make make install or: /usr/local/bin/perl Makefile.PL make make install If you just use 'perl -MCPAN -e shell' then your current '$PATH' will dictate which installation is being updated (if '/usr/bin' comes first, 5.8.0 is updated). One thing you will want to do, if you want to maintain two Perls (which you may not wish to do because it is more complicated) is make the CPAN module cache, build, and install modules in a different place for each Perl installation. On your RHL9 you have two configuration files that need the different locations in them: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/CPAN/Config.pm /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.2/CPAN/Config.pm Make backup copies of each one, then modify: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.2/CPAN/Config.pm and replace the text: /root/.cpan with: /root/.cpan-local and then: mkdir /root/.cpan-local If you want to disable the '/usr/local' installation of Perl, I would probably try and move '/usr/local/bin/perl' to '/usr/local/bin/perl-5.8.2' or something. It should be outside of your '$PATH' then. If that doesn't work, or need something that depends on it, you can move it back. Good luck, Troy >>> admin at lctn.org 12/04/03 11:45AM >>> Looks like I have 2 versions of perl, 5.8.0 is located in /usr/bin, and 5.8.2 is in /usr/local/bin. This is causing a problem when installing per modules manually and with CPAN. Everything ends up in /usr/local/bin ( the 5.8.2 install), so I am getting the following errors when I try to call Apache::PrettyPerl, "Can't locate Apache/PrettyPerl.pm in @INC ( @INC contains : /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/etc" Is there a way to force all modules to install to /usr/lib/perl5/perl5.8.0, or at least include the new perl libraries when launching a script? I tried changing the perl path on the two new scripts I am calling from #! /usr/bin/perl to #! /usr/local/bin/perl, but to no avail.
