Perl Path

[--[ UxBoD ]--]

Hi Martin,

Yes I have symlinked for the time being. I agree that most scripts expect the perl path to be /usr/bin but by using a symlink the whole system will use it.

The rationale for building under /usr/local/smartmail with all the necessary binaries is so that I can tar it all up, and transfer to another mailserver that has a vanilla RHES4 installation.

This provides me with control of updating when I feel packages are ready for production.

Best Regards,

UxBoD
