I was wondering if it's possible to have multiple Perl installations? I
currently run 5.6.1 on my Linux system, and I want to muck around with
5.8, but keep it "on the side". I remember there was once a thread on
this a few months ago but couldn't find it on google groups for the life
of me.
Basically, I want to leave 5.6.1 as my "main" or "default" Perl, so if I
go
#!/usr/bin/perl
That gives me 5.6.1,
and if I go
#!/usr/bin/perl-5.8
(or what is the newest version?)
This would make it very easy to test new/update aspects of Perl and
compare and check my 5.6.1-written scripts.
Thank you.
(And if you're wondering "why the hell don't you just go with 5.8 for
your main Perl?!" its because I have this Linux system setup to mimic
the setup on our company's www server, which is hosted by Verio and thus
I have no access to upgrade their Perl from 5.6.1 to 5.8.)
