When I did "perl -V", this is what I have still:
Summary of my perl5 (revision 5 version 8 subversion 4) configuration:

@INC:
/usr/local/cb/perl5.8.4/lib/5.8.4/darwin-thread-multi-2level
/usr/local/cb/perl5.8.4/lib/5.8.4
/usr/local/cb/perl5.8.4/lib/site_perl/5.8.4/darwin-thread-multi-2level
/usr/local/cb/perl5.8.4/lib/site_perl/5.8.4
/usr/local/cb/perl5.8.4/lib/site_perl
So I'm guessing that I need to somehow set the link to the 5.8.6 version, but I'm not sure how to do that. Looking in /usr/bin I'm seeing perl5.8.1 and perl5.8.4 but not perl5.8.6. Looking in darwin.sh, I see that did follow the instructions to install into /usr/local/bin the file perl5.8.6, so I guess I need to set a link to this . . . how?
Also, how can I safely remove the 5.8.6 installation? Seems there isn't an uninstall script that I can run, far as I can tell.
