Re^4: broke my perl? :(

Thanks! Worked like a charm! The /usr/bin/perl is still the old script i copied there but perl -v again gives reasonable output. I guess this means apt-get is now separate from perl in newer ubuntu (i have lucid_lynx).

Another question, now I have created a new directory for my own scripts. How can I direct these scripts to perl since perl is no longer in /usr/bin/perl and neither /gsc/bin/perl?

"Another question, now I have created a new directory for my own scripts. How can I direct these scripts to perl since perl is no longer in /usr/bin/perl and neither /gsc/bin/perl?" Going back to my earlier reply, what does `which perl` show now? If you've reinstalled perl /usr/bin/perl should not be a script you put there previously.	[reply] [d/l]

Thank you, just realized that after posting. It's now in `/usr/local/bin/`. So I hope everything is fine and dandy. Though I'm a bit afraid to restart my computer. Maybe I should make some backup...	[reply] [d/l]

For clarification, could you post the output of `file /usr/bin/perl`?	[reply] [d/l]
