Hi,

I hope the following examples would suffice your need.

#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Perl Version ->", $], "<- \n";

or 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use VERSION;
print "Perl Version ->", $PERL_VERSION, "<- \n";

For more info., go through "man perlvar".

Regards,
guru.

Hi,

  I know that 'which perl' will give the path of the
perl.  But the issue here is, i want to pick up the
correct version of perl.  If i say 'which perl' in
command prompt and say it gives /usr/local/bin/perl.
If I do a perl -v then i will get the version.  If
that version is not the one i wanted to use then how
do i pick up the correct version of the Perl.

  I can use 'where' in 'tcsh' but then i can't use
this for 'sh' bcoz. it doesnt support that command.
  
  Also i need to pick up the CORRECT VERSION OF PERL
using A SCRIPT.

Thanx in Advance,
Prakash.
