Whats the best way to configure my system with 2 more versions of perl running? The same exact way as 1 version of perl, install in the place of your choosing, like your home directory , with the defaults, like sh Configure -Dprefix=/home/username/perl -des If that isn't "best" enough use perlall- build, test and do with all perls, its like better perlbrew with a lot of testing features, and builds and keeps sane global perl installation	[reply]

Make it so. Less or more. Caution: ActiveState doesn't support older versions of Perl as far as i remember - except you pay for it. In other words: You get strange error messages if you try to install some modules via ppm for your older Perl. Regards, Karl ŤThe Crux of the Biscuit is the Apostropheť	[reply]
