Path to Perl difficulties
Posted: 22. June 2006 09:37
Apologies if this is a really stupid question, but I am fairly new to Linux and am trying to port my web applications from a Windows to Linux enviroment, and have successfully set up XAMPP under PCLinuxOS.
But in order to load all the additional Perl modules I needed I used the CPAN install procedure, and had to change the default path to perl /usr/bin/perl to a sym link pointing to /opt/lampp/bin/perl. But doing that breaks existing Linux dependancies (eg Control Center won't load).
It seems I can either keep the default Linux path to perl intact OR use XAMPP, but not both. Surely this is not the case?
