I was looking at what packages I've installed over time, along with ones installed by default, and am going to some cleaning. In doing so, I ran across a couple that I want to ask about...
They are: perl perl-5.005 perl-5.005-base perl-5.6 perl-5.6-base perl-base and tcl8.0 tcl8.2 tcl8.2-dev tcl8.3 tcl8.3-dev The 'dev' packages for tcl don't concern me. I'll remove the related one when I figure out what's going on. Why, for example, are there two versions of perl ?? Isn't perl-5.6 backwards-compatible with perl-5.0x ?? I do see that the perl-5.6 package can be removed and will leave me with 'perl'. I assume tcl is similar. Thanks in advance Hall
