What is the correct path for Perl on my Unix Virtual Server?
The best way to determine what path should be used in your Perl programs is to issue both the virtual perl -v command and the virtual perl5 -v command. By running both of these commands from your shell prompt you can see what versions you are currently running. There are several different ways in which you can configure your server with Perl. By using the virtual perl -v and virtual perl5 -v commands you can determine what is the most current version or the version applicable to your script. In the example above, you can determine by the dates that if you were to use the following path in your script it would use an older version of Perl: #!/usr/bin/perl However, if you need to use the newest version available on your Virtual Server, the correct path statement would be: #!
