O posted this a few days ago, no response. Hopefully one of the super guru's
has a clue with this. I have updated via MCPAN several times, but only 5.6.1
has started this happening it seems. Here is the original posting:


On two machines now, I have run"
perl -MCPAN -e shell

(RedHat 7.1, and RedHat 6.2)

when I query:
which perl

I get:
/usr/local/bin/perl

when I run:

find / -name perl

I get (among some other stuff)

/usr/local/bin/perl
/usr/bin/perl


Executing:

/usr/local/bin/perl -V

gives:

perl 5.6.1 (I won't type in all the details, it's about a page and a half)

Entering:
.usr/bin/perl -V

returns:

perl 5.6.0

I really would prefer that when I update everything with MCPAN that it
overwrites my old perl with the new install. What are the error of my ways?

Thanks for creating a group for us JAPN's. (JAP-Newbies)
