Hi,

I'm trying to upgrade perl for Linux Mandrake 10.2. I ran all the steps
to make, make test and make install cleanly. When I run perl -v  it
still shows the version as 5.8.6.  Perl is still being launched as an
old version.

If anyone can help me give me a suggestion that would be great!

Thanks,

Dan


/usr/bin/perl is probably a symlink to /usr/bin/perl5.8.6 (or /usr/bin/perl5, which in-turn links to /usr/bin/perl5.8.6), and you probably now have a /usr/bin/perl5.8.7, you need to link /usr/bin/perl (or /usr/bin/perl5) to it.
