Hi all,
I have a problem while installing perl 5.12. I have uninstalled the perl version 5.8 and installed 5.12. And when I tried to execute a perl script, it says that perl58.dll is missing. can some one please tell me how to completely remove previous version(5.8) of perl which I have uninstalled.

Regards,
Anusha

  1. Which OS?
  2. Did you try giving the absolute path to perl binary in the hash-bang line of your perl script? Something like this:
#! /home/user/perl5.12/bin/perl
