Helo.

[cut]

This is what you do.

# cd /usr/bin
# mv perl perl4.0
# ln -s /usr/local/bin/perl perl
# ls -l perl*
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  bin      19 May 10 20:10 /usr/bin/perl -> /usr/local/bin/perl
-r-xr-xr-x  1 bin   bin  274432 Mar 24 17:52 /usr/bin/perl4.0

In future you may find some other makes may have a problem perl5.0004.
Other than that you'll not have to ever revert it back.  At least I
haven't.
