I have successfully installed Perl (5.10.1)and have a question in creating symbolic links

Quote:
user@solaris >which perl
/bin/perl

user@solaris >ls -la /bin/perl
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Oct 18 2011 /bin/perl -> ../perl5/5.8.4/bin/perl

user@solaris >ls -la /usr/perl5/
total 22
drwxr-xr-x 8 root bin 512 Jun 4 17:53 .
drwxr-xr-x 45 root sys 1024 Jul 25 2012 ..
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 512 Jun 4 17:53 5.10.1
drwxr-xr-x 5 root bin 512 Oct 18 2011 5.6.1
drwxr-xr-x 3 root bin 512 Oct 18 2011 5.8.3
drwxr-xr-x 5 root bin 512 Oct 18 2011 5.8.4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Oct 18 2011 bin -> ./5.8.4/bin
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Oct 18 2011 man -> 5.8.4/man
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Oct 18 2011 pod -> ./5.8.4/lib/pod
drwxr-xr-x 4 root bin 512 Oct 18 2011 site_perl
drwxr-xr-x 5 root bin 512 Oct 18 2011 vendor_perl
So what needs to be done for creating symbolic link to point perl to newer version (i.e) 5.10.1?
