Upgrading Perl to 5.8.7 on RedHat EL 3.0

[dgeorgie at wiley.com]

Thanks Ed for resolving my dilemma. I already did that. Some other people 
in the team thought we could upgrade Perl on the server so other programs 
and script could benefit from the new version. I wanted to find out how 
difficult is to do such a thing.

You don't.  If you need 5.8.7 for specific applications, you install
into /usr/local or /opt and then point those applications to the
different instance.  In general, you leave the stock Red Hat-supplied
versions alone.
