in reply to Muliple perl installation sucks!

None of the other installations show 5.12.3 as a version. Did you upgrade Strawberry Perl and then not upgrade your modules? Upgrading will *not* overwrite c:\strawberry\perl\site\... installations of modules and any XS modules installed may need to be recompiled.

What does:

assoc .pl
ftype

[download]

return? Also, look at the registry key:

HKCR\Applications\perl.exe

[download]

That should have the path of the current Perl executable.

    Thank you guys I am new to perl and trying to load some modules to work with Oracle DB such as DBI/DBD.

    My registry show: C:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe

    I am not aware of what assoc.pl ftype does I was not able to find it. Sorry.

    I just thinking to uninstall all the Perls supplied by vendor and just keep one but scared that it might break something. 

    c:\>perl -MCPAN -e shell
Perl lib version (5.12.3) doesn't match executable version (v5.14.2) a
