Re^4: Protocol scheme 'http' is not supported

Thanks for looking - obviously my eyes are missing something. I did the following but came up empty...

$ sudo perl -V > sudoV.txt
$ perl -V > V.txt
$ diff V.txt sudoV.txt

but here's the sudo perl -V output:

I went to see where perl is installed in my path but only found the what I was expecting to find...

$ sudo whereis perl

Hi, It does actually look like you have two perls installed. Look at your whereis output, /usr/bin/perl vs /usr/local/bin/perl You can verify this further by doing /usr/bin/perl -V and /usr/local/bin/perl -V I had a similar problem after a release-upgrade on my ubuntu-server. Unfortunately my only solution was to reinstall the system. Best regards, Jimmy	[reply]

Actually, both the /usr/local/bin/perl and the /opt/admin/bin/perl are just softlinks to the actual /usr/bin/perl binary, but thanks for keepin' me honest `$ ls -l /opt/admin/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/perl /usr/bin/perl lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Apr 10 16:38 /opt/admin/bin/perl -> /usr/ +bin/perl -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 19208 Dec 16 2011 /usr/bin/perl lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Apr 27 14:01 /usr/local/bin/perl -> /usr/ +bin/perl` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
