The problem is that linux (RedHat9.0) think that my perl version is 5.8.7 and he is write.
root@vega [~]# perl -v This is perl, v5.8.7 built for i686-linux Copyright 1987-2005, Larry Wall

But, WebHostManager (Cpanel) still saying me, that I'm using perl 5.8.1. And the costomers of that server still using perl-5.8.1 I suppose.

I think, that after upgrading perl in write directory Cpanel will understand that my perl version is 5.8.7. Or not? May be I should find some spetial modules for the Cpanel to make it understand which version of perl am I using?

If I'll make now this sym link what does it gives to me? Linux already knows that my perl had upgreted

One more quetion about /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl. After upgrading there was only one empty directory /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/i686-linux. Is this normal? I suppose that I shouldn't copying all the files there from /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.7 ? Schould I remove them now from i686-linux/ and from 5.8.7/ ?
This helps U to understand me:
root@vega [/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7]# ls ./ Config/ FreezeThaw.pm LWP/ Module/ T +ext/ ../ DBIx/ Hook/ lwpcook.pod Net/ T +ime/ Algorithm/ Devel/ HTML/ LWP.pm Number/ T +ree/ Apache/ Error.pm HTTP/ lwptut.pod prefork.pm U +RI/ auto/ Exception/ i686-linux/ Mail/ Regexp/ U +RI.pm Bundle/ ExtUtils/ IO/ MIME/ set-version.pl* W +WW/ Cache/ File/ Locale/ MLDBM/ Sub/ X +ML/ Class/ Font/ Log/ MLDBM.pm Test/
root@vega [/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/i686-linux]# ls ./ Attribute/ Compress/ DBI.pm Mysql/ Roadmap.pod + Want.pm ../ auto/ DBD/ Digest/ Mysql.pm* RT_SiteConfig.pm* + Win32/ Apache/ Bundle/ DBI/ HTML/ Params/ Term/ + XML/

I think that I'll better reinstall perl. I have all chnses now to delete something important. So I decided to remove all the files from /usr/local/lib/perl5/ and reinstall perl again. Stop me plz. if I wrong.
