Re: Installs on Red Hat Linux Server

It worked before and then, all of a sudden, when trying to run PerlApp it started complaining. I figured I would try installing a new version of ActivePerl and then tried installing the latest of ActivePerl's PDK. I had gotten this error after attempting to install the PDK.

I moved the download for Linux (x64) into the opt/pdk directory as well and tried running (gunzip -c PDK....tar.gz \| tar xvf -) on it from within a shell in the directory and it seems to have worked. Am I correct in understanding that you've two versions, a working one and one that won't work? And the new one---the one that won't work---is that a 64-bit version? Is the working version also 64 bits? As far as the system not seeing the Perl version you wanted, that sounds like a PATH problem to me. `which perl` will tell you which version is called by default.
