Path to Perl

[Alistair.Stewart@UK (Alistair Stewart - Senior Systems Engineer)]

I finally gave in after losing too many appointments because of this daylight savings "feature". I downloaded and installed a new version of Perl on my machine in /opt/PERL. I then wiped my pilotmgr directory and downloaded the whole thing again and installed it.

When I ran setup it insisted on finding Perl in /usr/dist instead of in /opt/PERL even though the new version was at the front of my PATH. I got around it by umounting /usr/dist. Wouldn't it be nice if it used the PATH to find Perl instead of just assuming that if there's Perl in /usr/dist, that's the one to use.

How am I going to do this for all the salesmen in the office here as I don't know the root password on their systems so I can't unmount /usr/dist on their systems.

Al...
rant, rant, grumble, grumble ... Stomps off home to annoy the cat.
