Sounds like the install did exactly what you asked it to: installed perl 5.8.6 to /usr/local/bin. when you call 'perl', though, you're still calling the old version. Typing 'which perl' will tell you which binary is actually being called, but it's probably /usr/bin/perl, which is prbably a soft link to /usr/bin/perl5.8.4.
Turns out that you're correct about this. perl5.8.6 does exist - it's just in another directory.
Other than /usr/bin/perl, I'm seeing several links, such as perlbug -> /usr/local/cb/perl5.8.4/bin/perlbug. So I'll need to change these links as well. Now . . . what about the CPAN modules? I've got several modules installed - I'll need to reinstall and compile these to work with 5.8.6, right?
