Re: [webmin-l] Solaris: Perl problems

[Greg M. <Moe...@ge...>]

I have also installed the Solaris package.. which user /usr/bin/perl...
but found that if I empty out /etc/webmin and run setup.sh it does the
same thing as what Jamie is saying...  eg prompts you for locations,
etc.

Cheers,

  It should also be pointed out that /usr/bin/perl is shipped as a
symlink
to /usr/perl5/bin/perl.  It is acceptable (and interestingly enough,
customary) to change this sym-link to whichever actual perl distro you
choose.  So, feel free to:

    rm /usr/bin/perl
    ln -s /usr/local/bin/perl /usr/bin/perl

  Of course, the bad news is that if you have installed any perl
modules
to the Solaris perl libraries (in /usr/perl5), you will have to
re-install
them to the new perl paths.

  Cheers!
