in reply to Perl 4 errors

If you have "perldoc" to run "perldoc -f use", then you have Perl v5 somewhere also (because Perl v4 did not have "perldoc" and Perl v4 did not have use).

So look for other versions of Perl under different executable names (such as "perl5") or in different directories. "which perldoc" or "whereis perldoc" might be a good start.

    Beautiful. I didn't realize that perldoc was a perl5 object. And finding that binary pointed me to where the perl 5.005_2 binary lives. And somewhat obviously, I didn't realize that Perl 4 didn't have use. ;)

    Many thanks.
