the pair of quotes are necessary after the -e (null argument - but it needs an argument in any case). If there's an error it'll exit without the -e "", but without an error it'll just sit there waiting for you. The -e is not important in the grand scheme of things.<div>
<br></div><div>to remove the symlink, just "rm /usr/bin/perl" -- but note that CentOS might want there to be a perl there (i'm not sure about dependencies in that OS), so you may just as well "<span style>mv /usr/bin/perl58 /usr/bin/perl" to undo what you'd done earlier.</span></div>
<div><br></div><div>To build cpan is a bit involved and somewhat off topic here so I'll refer you to the documentation on <a href="http://www.cpan.org">http://www.cpan.org</a>, but you may not need to build it... check first to see if it came with your perl installation by attempting to run "/usr/local/bin/cpan" - if this works, then you're off the hook. Just make sure to run cpan and perl with the fully-qualified path instead of just the command name.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Also, when it comes time to install RT, I think you will have to specify that perl is located at /usr/local/bin/perl instead of /usr/bin/perl</div><div><br>Regards,<br><br>Stephen J Alexander<br>MPBX, LLC<br>
