in thread Sprite Module Call

It is Perl 4 (my sys admin lied to me!)

Also, what can I do to get "strict" "ExtUtils" and other such things when I don't have access to adding to Perl?

    What website is this?
    I want to tell everyone i know so that we can post all kinds of nasty stuff on it?

    Please get your sysadmin to UPGRADE to perl 5.

    P.S. Just kidding about the nasty stuff part.

      You can't access it, it's in my company's internal web. And my sys admin has stopped answering my e-mails(not like he was very effective when he was) (Our Perl is from 1993, cutting edge huh?) If anyone know how to set up Perl5 in a subdirectory of a server so that when I try to run something it'll go to that instead of the basic one, please tell me (as in when I try using the perl command in a terminal)

      Thanx

        Presuming you can get to the command line (otherwise, this is even HARDER!), do this: 
        # start with perldistro in whatever.tar.gz
$ gunzip <whatever.tar.gz | tar xfv -
$ cd whatever-just-got-unpacked
$ ./Configure -ders -Dprefix=$HOME
$ make all test install

        [download]
        You now have $HOME/bin/perl!

    It never hurts to check if the perl5 executable might be installed somewhere else. For instance, my ISP has perl4 installed as /usr/bin/perl, and the perl5 as /usr/local/bin/perl.

    Depending on the system you're on, you can try find / -name perl -print and see what comes up. On Linux boxes you should be able to try locate -r "/perl$" This will also return a few directories named perl, but you should only get a few hits that need looking at.
