The examples above use a relative path to the perl interpreter,
getting whatever version is first in the user's path. If you want
-a specific version of Perl, say, perl5.005_57, you should place
+a specific version of Perl, say, perl5.14.1, you should place
that directly in the C<#!> line's path.
If the C<#!> line does not contain the word "perl" nor the word "indir"
will stand in for whatever method works on your system. You are
advised to use a specific path if you care about a specific version.
- #!/usr/local/bin/perl5.00554
+ #!/usr/local/bin/perl5.14
or if you just want to be running at least version, place a statement
like this at the top of your program:
- use 5.005_54;
+ use 5.014;
