I'm trying to figure out if anyone is running perl 5.8.2 on a raq4? I was updating my opensrs.net stuff and I've kinda got the Perl 5.8.2 installing as we speak. :-( Really didn't want to but kida too late ;-) If anyone got it running on a raq4 without breaking the GUI, could you please let me know how you did it.
Install it in a separate directory (mine's in /home/perl582). Then all your Perl scripts have to start
#!/home/perl582 to use the 'new' version.Also make sure when installing modules, etc, that they go to the right place.
If you've installed 5.8.2 in place of the original Perl, your UI will be broken. You can just uninstall the one you have now, though, and get the Perl RPMs from the Sun FTP server and reinstall it. I've done that at least once or twice... :)
