Okay, doing this:
Code:
--------------------
I get
[EMAIL PROTECTED] pfarrell]$ which perl
/usr/bin/perl
[EMAIL PROTECTED] pfarrell]$ file /usr/bin/perl
/usr/bin/perl: symbolic link to `perl5'
[EMAIL PROTECTED] pfarrell]$ file /usr/bin/perl5
/usr/bin/perl5: symbolic link to `perl5.8.5'
[EMAIL PROTECTED] pfarrell]$ file /usr/bin/perl5.8.5
/usr/bin/perl5.8.5: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1
(SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses shared libs),
stripped
[EMAIL PROTECTED] pfarrell]$
More directly, using 'ls'
[EMAIL PROTECTED] pfarrell]$ cd /usr/bin
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]$ ls -l perl5
perl5 perl5.8.5
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]$ ls -l perl5.8.5
-rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 11132 Apr 26 17:26 perl5.8.5*
--------------------
Gives me:
Code:
--------------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]$ which perl
/usr/bin/perl
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]$ file /usr/bin/perl
/usr/bin/perl: symbolic link to `perl5'
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]$ file /usr/bin/perl5
/usr/bin/perl5: symbolic link to `perl5.8.6'
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]$ file /usr/bin/perl5.8.6
/usr/bin/perl5.8.6: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV),
for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]$ cd /usr/bin
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]$ ls -l perl5
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Sep 1 16:50 perl5 -> perl5.8.6*
--------------------
which looks to me to be exactly the same with the exception of perl
being version 5.8.6 on mine.
