Simple question. how to findout the version
Hello,

It would be very simple question for u, but as i am not a perl expert it seems to be difficult for me to determine. we are using SUNOS 5.8. in one application installation, the documentation says minimum perl 5 is required for that. i don't know how to findout the version of perl in UNIX. Can some one helpme please.

Thanks Stealth,

That is solved the problem.my system have perl 5 ver. now i am facing another issue, may be u will be able to help. in one step of my installation it failed, reasion failed to execute XXXX.pl file.

As far as i know the .pl extension files cannot execute it's own. have to call with perl command, am i right,

is there any way i can execute the .pl files the perl is already in the path.

perl something.pl

You should really consider reading man perl (the internal Perl manual in your server). Type in man perl at the command prompt.
