version 4 upgrade and 2 perl versions

[Lewis Bergman]

My apologies if this has been addressed recently and I missed it. This is kind
of related to an earlier question but not exactly.

I have been going through the install script for version 4 in preperation for
the migration. I noticed that it checks for cpan maintained versions of perl
in /usr/local. I have run the section of the install script and it does
indeed report that I have two versions, which of course I do. Not being a
perl type myself I have this question with my situation:

On my mail server
[root at ns2 /root]# ls -l /usr/bin/perl
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           19 Mar 19  2002 /usr/bin/perl ->
/usr/local/bin/perl
Obviously the above was output on a single line.

And of course;
[root at ns2 /root]# /usr/bin/perl -v
This is perl, v5.6.1 built for i686-linux

[root at ns2 /root]# /usr/local/bin/perl -v
This is perl, v5.6.1 built for i686-linux

My question is with perl being linked to the /usr/local/bin/perl is it still
recommended to remove all traces of perl in /usr/local as suggested in the
install script?
