Re: [cobalt-users] Versions of Perl and other programs

[Josh Kuperman <josh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The following method only tells me what versions are installed on My
XTR, they won't tell me what is on say an updated RaQ 550. I wan't to
be able to see if I should try to use unapproved updating techniques
and or buy a different machine. Plus your technique is potentially
dangerous as you should use the absolute paths. Consider on my
machine where I installed an old Perl (because I did it a while ago) to get
past the system required ancient Perl(don't know why it wasn't
updated), but regadless, I don't know what is in use on a RaQ 550:

[josh josh]$ perl -v

This is perl, v5.6.1 built for i686-linux-multi

[josh josh]$ /usr/bin/perl -v

This is perl, version 5.005_03 built for i386-linux
