Actually, this gave me just the clue I needed to solve the problem. I tried |
| 43 |
to install another package from dev-perl and got complaints that it was |
| 44 |
trying to overwrite a file in perl5.10.0. I've manually installed perl 5.10 |
| 45 |
so that I can use the nifty new features but left perl 5.8.8 as the default |
| 46 |
version on the system. (When I want to use 5.10, I put a shebang line in |
| 47 |
the script pointing to that executable.) Poking about on the system for a |
| 48 |
bit revealed that /usr/bin/perl pointed to 5.8.8 but |
| 49 |
somehow /usr/local/bin/perl was pointing to 5.10. I don't know why that |
| 50 |
caused the issue, or even why there's a perl executable in both places, but |
| 51 |
fixing that resolved the issue. Thanks for the assistance. |
