How do I make the /usr/local/bin install the default ?I *think* all you need to do is change the link on /usr/bin/perl to the new binary that you built. That will give you both /usr/local/bin/perl and /usr/bin/perl running the same version.

Where's the master file that tells the system what the default perl installation is? Could it be in Apache perhaps?It gets it from your PATH env setting I think. If /usr/bin comes before /usr/local/bin in your path then it will take /usr/bin/perl first.

I'm also noticing that the new perl install is not recognizing all of the perl modules that the original perl recognizes.You will need to install the modules you want with the new version of perl: /usr/local/bin/perl -MCPAN -e shell...
I'm far from a UNIX/Linux expert but that should at least get you going in the right direction at least.
