Venerable monks,

Do forgive me for what seems a trivial issue but I am having problems upgrading my installation of perl from 5.8.8 to 5.10.0 on my Ubuntu 7.10 system. I have followed the standard installation procedure as follows:

% sh Configure -de
% make
% make test
% sudo make install

[download]

Now this seemed to work fine (admittedly after several attempts) so I went on to test the new installation. I tried the following:

% which perl
/usr/local/bin/perl

% perl -v

This is perl, v5.10.0 built for i686-linux

% perl -e 'use feature qw(:5.10); say q(Hello World!);'
Hello World!

As you can see, that lot works as expected. However when I tried the following:

% sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'shell'

% perldoc perl

For some reason it is still checking the 5.8.8 version of Config.pm =(

Is there something obvious I am missing? Is this the wrong place to be asking this question? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

Smoothie, smoothie, hundre prosent naturlig!
