Perl Installation Issues

[R3N]

greetings all.

i resently make uninstalled perl 5.8.0 and tried to reinstall 5.8.2, however everything that uses perl still wants to look in the 5.8.0 folder, i need to complete kill 5.8.0 and get 5.8.2 going from ports , any suggestions would be great.

You have two versions of perl installed I would imagine. Check /usr/bin/perl and /usr/local/bin/perl

perl -v will get you the version, remove the bad one and symlink the new one into that location.

and check the #! line in your Perl scripts as well (assuming UNIX or similar)
