Using Perl at Panix
Panix has been around a long time, and a lot of our customers depend on scripts written for them by others in earlier versions of Perl. In order to avoid breaking those scripts and still allowing customers ready access to newer versions of Perl, we've made it possible for customers to select their default version of perl.
For instance, if you want to your perl-5.14.2 you can either:- • Set the environment variable PERL to the pathname to use:
- sh based shells:
- export PERL=/usr/local/bin/perl-5-14.2
- setenv PERL /usr/local/bin/perl-5.14.2
- or
- •Create a symbolic link yin your home directory
- ln -s /usr/local/bin/erl-5.14.2 ~/.defaultperl
- If both are set, the environment variable takes precedence.
