[rt-users] which Perl version should one use with RT 4.4 on CentOS 6

[Martin Wheldon]

Hi,

I would recommend installing a version of perl just for RT that is 
seperate from the
system perl. I tend to use the version that the perl project considers 
stable. Currently
v5.22.1 I believe.

Check out perlbrew for a nice easy clean way of installing a independant 
perl version.

Best Regards

Martin
