Hello as00060,

I stopped using Fedora more than 10 years ago, but did you look in '/usr/local/bin' directory? If you see links in that directory to other programs, you should be able to add the following: 

  ln -s /opt/perl/ActivePerl-5.20/bin/perl myperl   # use whatever nam
+e you want

[download]
Then when you type 'myperl' on the command line it should use the Active Perl command you installed.

That should work no matter what account you're 'login'ed under.

Good Luck...Ed
