I'm running 4.7-RELEASE as my home desktop. I've compiled perl 5.8 from the ports. It was installed in /usr/local/bin/perl. After that installation # perl -v resulted in perl, version 5.005_3 # /usr/local/bin/perl -v resulted in perl, v 5.8.0 If I call /usr/local/bin/perl in my scripts, I realize that the new version will be used. However after running the command # use.perl port, I wonder if old scripts that call /usr/bin/perl will be interpreted under v 5.8.0. If there was a symbolic link placed between /usr/local/bin/perl and /usr/bin/perl which version would be used? Thanks for straightening out my confusion. Gary Schenk
