[Beds] How to run 2 perl side by side

Mon Oct 10 15:12:49 BST 2005

Hi,

Please could you give me instructions on how to run two versions of perl
side by side as I only need the new version to run spamassassin.

Many Thanks
Stephen Elliott

Hi,

I don't really want to upgrade the distribution as I have everything in
place, working perfectly. I do most stuff from source so it's up to date.
Just that I want to upgrade perl but am worried it may end up being a messy
process.

Steve...

Odd you got no replies, we have Slackware users in the group.

Can't you update to a more recent version of Slackware with a newer Perl
distribution?

I don't use slackware, but I would have thought it would be perfectly ok to
just uninstall the slackware perl 5.6 packages and compile the latest perl
from cpan.

The perl compilation is quite simple - then you would just need to install
any modules are not part of the standard perl distribution.

Alternatively, you can run two different versions of perl side-by-side.
