Ok... There are several installations here. My guess is that the
system was installed with perl version 5.00503. Then you upgraded to
perl 5.6.0. Now you've upgraded again to perl 5.6.1. Perl 5.6.1 has
installed a Config.pm into ./perl5/i386-bsdos/Config.pm.

Umm... perl5.6.0 -V is looking at the first config file it finds,
which happens to be the one that was installed by perl 5.6.1. That
is why the versions do not match.

At this point, I'm going to suggest that you fully migrate to perl
5.6.1. This means that you need to stop using perl5.6.0 in your #!
lines. Either that, or remove perl5.6.0 and link it to perl5.6.1.
Note: YMMV.
ln -s /usr/bin/perl5.6.1 /usr/bin/perl5.6.0
If this is not what you have in mind, then I suggest reinstalling a
fresh copy of perl 5.6.0 from source to overwrite the existing
Config.pm file and any other files perl 5.6.1 might have installed.
In the future, I would suggest including as much information in your
original post as neccesary as not every one is as patient or as
willing to help as I am, especially when the thread starts getting
long.
Sincerely,
Robert Landrum
