Changing where perl loads from.

[LucL]

I have two installations of Perl, 5.8.5 and 5.8.8 in different locations.

The default now is 5.8.8 (after I just installed it), but the old version is still there in a different path. When I run perl -v I get 5.8.8.

What file must I edit to change the path back to the old 5.8.5?

I should add this. When I run my scripts from the web they work fine because the /usr/bin/perl is still the old 5.8.5 (which is the one I want) but when I run them from SSH it runs with the 5.8.8 version.

So all I'm trying to change is the version it runs from the shell, for some reason it defaults to 5.8.8 and I want to get it back to default to /usr/bin/perl which is 5.8.5

Is this Windows? You'll have to edit your %PATH% variable to point to the right Perl directory.

Click Start -> Control Panel -> System -> "Advanced" tab -> "Environment Variables" button

Go down to "Path" under System Variables and edit that.

Thanks, but unfortunately it's not windows. It's a linux redhat box.
