dp has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello Monks, I've gotten myself into a pickle (again?). I installed perl 5.6.1 using CPAN, an upgrade from 5.6.0, and directed the execuatables into /usr/local/bin. I had some problems with 5.6.1 and mod_perl, so I wiped the 5.6.1 and returned to 5.6.0, which via rpm installs execuables in /usr/bin. The problem is that now, when I try to use perldoc, it still looks for things in /usr/local/bin (the 5.6.1 location):
[dhaffner@tethys dhaffner]$ which perldoc /usr/bin/perldoc [dhaffner@tethys dhaffner]$ perldoc perldoc sh: /usr/local/bin/pod2man: No such file or directory Can't open /tmp/filenWLuFh: File exists at /usr/bin/perldoc line 341.
All I can divine is that /usr/local/bin is before /usr/bin in my shell PATH variable. Can anyone help me figure out how to config my perldoc back to normal. I'll be lost without it. Thanks, dp

    I figured it out. Some weird filesystem stuff going on, nothing to do with perl.
