Red Hat

Hi All,

How do I verify if I updated perl properly?

I check with perl -v and it seems to me it's the same.

Please help. Thanks.

what distro are you using? what version are you upgrading from?

"-V" switch prints more debug info.

Here's what I did, I "perl -V > a" on the production server and on a previous version I do the same and do a "diff a b":

I could say the perl on a is the latest (Jun 5) which is my production server and the b is my test server (Oct 22).
