how upgrade perl 3.8.0

That would be a downgrade. The current version is 5.8.8. Perl and cpan are automatically installed in most distributions.

If there is no rpm for that version for your distribution then you will have to do it from source. http://www.perl.com/download.csp

Do you really have a need for upgrading?

Based on the SpamAssassin 3.2.0 thread, the new SA requires features that indirectly require Perl 5.8.8.

You can compile it from the source (http://www.perl.com/CPAN/src/stable.tar.gz) or install its RPM (if it's created for your OS). Please consult the appropriate README and INSTALLING files if you have trouble configuring, compiling, and installing Perl.

Will this modify or harm the current Perl paths in CentOS 3.8? Rather what I'm asking is that, does CentOS 3.8 have custom path's for perl that if I was to compile perl from source that it'd put it in a different location??

You're running Redhat 8.0 ???

Might be time to think about an upgrade there... RH8 is even beyond Legacy support I thought.

for upgrade command line... REDHAT 8.0 it's ok?
-----------
cd /usr/local/directadmin/customapache
wget http://www.perl.com/download.csp#stable
tar -zxvf stable.tar.gz
cd perl-5.8.8
./configure.gnu
make
make install

It might have been installed at /usr/local/bin/perl, but /usr/bin/perl (the old one) has higher priority in the $PATH....

Type:

updatedb
locatel perl |grep bin

to see what you have.
Check the versions of those files directly, eg:

/usr/local/bin/perl -v

don't work...

if write: perl -v

i have always perl 5.8.0

if write: /usr/local/bin/perl -v ...it's ok

why?

Because now you have two versions of perl installed. One in /usr/bin/perl and one in /usr/local/bin/perl

If you do not want to delete the old installation then change the top line of your perl scripts to #!/usr/local/bin/perl

What do you mean it doesn't work? We cannot help you if all you say is it doesn't work. There has got to be some errors or something. Did you try rebuilding from the src rpm? What happened when you rebuilt the rpm? What happened when you installed the rpm? Give us something to work with.
