(RADIATOR) non-standard location for perl?

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Neale -

The easiest thing to do is to use fully-qualified pathnames in your 
startup script.

Ie. "/usr/local/src/Perl/..... /usr/local/src/Radiator/.... -config_file 
/usr/local/etc/....."

Otherwise you can change /usr/bin/perl and/or /usr/local/bin/perl to be 
symlinks to the version you want to use.

Note that I prefer and recommend the former solution.

regards

Hugh
