perl in Linux 8.0
- Thread starter maunir
- Start date
Hi,
first, you need to be more precise. There is no linux 8.0.
Linux is up to 2.6. Ther's Suse 8.0, RH etc.
So I assume you are referring to a distribution. If so,
mst of these distributions have some installation tools.
What is installed by default and put in the path
is up to the distribution. You can do a search for 'perl'
in / to see if perl is installed. If so, you need to either put it in the path or else start your scripts
with the perl location. If not, you need to install it.
For instance with Suse use Yast2, choose Install packages
and select perl from languages.
Good luck

Gday Maunir,
Make sure your perl program starts with a correct shebang (in your instance #!/usr/bin/perl).
If perl is installed correctly, running "perl -v" should tell you a story about your installation. This will also allow you to verify what you installed.

Pat

Funnily enough this sort of problem has just surfaced in the London.pm mailing list this week, an extract of which:

Not sure if this is the same problem, but it sounds like it.
