in reply to Opensuse 12.2 how can i check if i do run one or two versions of Perl?!

What problems exactly do you have? You can probably have more that one Perl installed, but it cannot be easily checked since it could be installed anywhere (and in many possible ways). Try checking in /usr/local and /opt. Try checking whether perlbrew is installed on your system.
Sorry if my advice was wrong.

      Was perlbrew installed before you installed it this time? I meant that you need just to check for its presence (which would have meaned that there is a custom-installed Perl apart from packaged Perl), not to install (or use) it. You can still try to install another Perl and see if it solves your problem, but this is a wrong way.

      And you still didn't show us (or link us to) the errors you receive. Can you please do it?

      Sorry if my advice was wrong.
        it was not installed - i did it later on...

    hello dear friend


    even with perlbrew i run into the same errors.

    guess that i have to make a new installation -from scratch...

      Which errors? The same as your previous post? If so that's nothing to do with Perl, or perlbrew. How do I post a question effectively?. As you continue to fail to provide the details of the problems you're having the answers still evade you.
