I saw this in the bash_profile some setting: /perl5.10/bin Hello Sergey. What you have there is just (part of) a path. It would help to understand immensely if you were to provide the full statement from the .bash_profile which includes that path. my centOS 6.6 I find this: /usr/bin/perl. I am assuming this is where Perl executive are kept by default? Yes. On CentOS 6 (and many other OSes) `/usr/bin/perl` is the default location for the system perl. You can try it by running it with that full path like this: `$ /usr/bin/perl -v This is perl, v5.10.1 (*) built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi Copyright 1987-2009, Larry Wall Perl may be copied only under the terms of either the Artistic License + or the GNU General Public License, which may be found in the Perl 5 source ki +t.

If you have access to + the Internet, point your browser at http://www.perl.org/, the Perl Home Pa +ge.` [download] As to why the two profiles differ - you would need to ask the people who wrote them. Anything else on my part would be pure guesswork. Good luck.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

"I saw this in the bash_profile some setting: /perl5.10/bin for CentOS 6." What setting? Be specific when asking for help. How do I post a question effectively?. "I am assuming this is where Perl executive are kept by default?" Yes, the system perl lives there by default. Often people install their own perl elsewhere on the system and edit the `PATH` environment variable, so if someone had built perl in `/perl5.10/bin` on the 6.3 server, and edited the `PATH` variable giving precedence to `/perl5.10/bin` running `which perl` would show: `/perl5.10/bin/perl` [download] If modules are installed for this perl5.10 they won't show up under the system perl.
