RE: [cobalt-developers] Perl 5.6

["KAMRY" <kamry1888@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have looked over the mailing list interface but nothing was there for perl
5.6.1 installation, therefore, Steve Werby commented on the procedure as
follows:

**********************

/usr/local/perl-5.6.1
Download perl 5.6.1 from perl.com
tar xfvz perl-5.6.1.tar.gz (I think the file is actually called
stable.tar.gz but I rename it when I save it on my server so I know what it
is)
cd perl-5.6.1
sh Configure
# It will ask you some questions.
# When you get to question of
# Installation prefix to use? (~name ok) [/usr/local]
# Type something like:
/usr/local/perl-5.6.1

**********************

The question now is that how do I know if the Cobalt GUI is broken or no - I
did "make install" and the new version of perl is installed - I can browse
the GUI but is there a way or an area that may be affected and which I can
test to see if the perl installation went all OK?!

Thanks,

Kal

Yes.  Install it in a non-standard location so it doesn't overwrite or
interfere with the current install.  Otherwise you'll break a lot of Perl
scripts on the server.  Then when you want to use 5.6 just point the
script's shebang line to the location of the 5.6 perl binary.
