Dear all,

Thank you for your marvellous replies. I am so impressed with this forum, mind if I stick around? You all deserve a repsonse....

Liz,
I've been banging my head against the table tying to work this out. You responded and fixed the problem in 7 minutes!

Shemne,
Where did I put perl?

I just downloaded the tar to my user account and unpacked it into a directory there. I then installed from that directory.
Is there a better way to do this?
Is it better to install from root?

Where should I install new moules to?
I used your "find iname" command from root to get a complete list from the system. Very useful command. I got a very long list but I think these are the main points...

./usr/local/bin/perl5.8.1
./usr/bin/perl5.6.0

Tachyon,

The "locate" command - very useful, thank you. The -u listed hundreds of lines. These are updates? Do you mean things I have added - like modules?

Any modules I have added do not show now. I only see perl5.8.1. No modules. They were there under 5.6.0

Roger,

I like the script. Havn't tried it yet, but I learned something about profiles and login scripts from your text - thanks.

I'm off to try and find my modules now. I'm sure I'll be back soon...
