You got a reply which you already had answered. Why? Because you didn't use the <code> tags. `$ which perl /usr/local/bin/perl $ /usr/local/bin/perl -v This is perl, v5.8.6 ... $ /usr/bin/perl -v This is perl, v5.8.5 ... $ perl -v This is perl, v5.8.5 ...` [download] Another cause might be aliases in your .profile / .bashrc / .cshrc file, which would mask the word 'perl' in one command but not in others. -- `[ e d @ h a l l e y . c c ]`	[reply] [d/l]
