All before sign # in my previous reply is command prompt, you don't need it to repeat in your shell. Just type:
whereis perl
You can check man for whereis for more details.

I run this and i guess perl is not installed properly...

# which perl
no perl in /sbin /usr/sbin /usr/bin /usr/bin/X11
# which perl5
no perl5 in /sbin /usr/sbin /usr/bin /usr/bin/X11
#
What can i do for install perl properly??

Tks a lot!!

If you really have perl in dir /usr/bin/perl/ thats seems wrong for me, perl might be available for you like /usr/bin/perl/perl5.6.2, but you should be in correct group, due to permission. I myself should reinstall perl.
