You mean having to dive into almost every perl script (not Linux
developed) and change #!/usr/local/bin/perl to #!/usr/bin/perl, as a
Unix (that means non Linux) standard all non-base part of the
installation end up in /usr/local, there for if you like to be portabe
beetween different Unix dialekt one has do put the local compoiled
packades somewahe ele that /usr/local, but we also get problems with
that approach. Nothing will get easy, the main problem with everything
/usr/ is that it's hard to divide. (Changeing all perl script are med by
one simple command, ln -s /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/perl, not a that
beutifull but very efficant...)
