Re^3: Permissions for a separately installed perl by shmem (Chancellor) on Feb 28, 2010 at 13:44 UTC
Ok, in that shell, what does `perl -e 'print "$]\n";'` [download] yield? The shell hashes paths to commands, and if you add a command to a path previous in $PATH to the already hashed one, your may not see the changes: qwurx [shmem] ~> touch blorflydick qwurx [shmem] ~> rm blorflydick qwurx [shmem] ~> mkdir bin qwurx [shmem] ~> PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH qwurx [shmem] ~> which rm /bin/rm qwurx [shmem] ~> echo '#!/bin/sh' > bin/rm qwurx [shmem] ~> echo 'echo no rm damnit' >> bin/rm qwurx [shmem] ~> chmod a+x bin/rm qwurx [shmem] ~> which rm ~/bin/rm qwurx [shmem] ~> rm blorflydick rm: cannot remove `bloflydick': No such file or directory qwurx [shmem] ~> [download] A new shell will see the changes, however: `qwurx [shmem] ~> echo $SHLVL 4 qwurx [shmem] ~> bash qwurx [shmem] ~> echo $SHLVL 5 qwurx [shmem] ~> rm blorflydick no rm damnit qwurx [shmem] ~>` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

A new shell will see the changes or `$ hash -r` [download] to make `bash` forget its cached bindings.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

shmem's reply below is most likely correct. With the above command you're running a new shell (with no cached name—>binary bindings), so everything works as expected...	[reply]

Also try `sudo which perl` [download] I think it's a matter of what's in PATH.	[reply] [d/l]
