[Closed due to errror] Is it safe to install Perl 5.8
#3
Hi Rob
Quote:Would going from 5.14 to 5.8 be a DOWNGRADE?

Good question given what I wrote. I can't think why I wrote that Sad -maybe been burning the midnight oil too much. Or maybe I read 5.1.4 - I'm really struggling with this screen - see another post.

Yes, I would imagine the software was backward compatible and it wouldn't be wise to downgrade.

On further research I've now decided not to use the package. It's an anti-virus package, F-Prot that I've using on Windows for 10 or so years. They have a Linux version which for some reason is free. But I've now found it's a passive on-demand scanner and not active. Their full blown Linux package is very expensive compared to the Windows package which comes in upto 5 PCs.

I'm now looking at Sophos and will post another question, also one on dependency - try to get it right this time Wink

Thank you for answering, sorry for wasting any of your time.

Alan
