Specify a different location for Perl.

I am trying to install on a machine in which I cannot update the default version of Perl. I can however compile the latest version elsewhere. How can I have OTRS use this sideline version instead of the standard install path of Perl?

AFAIK: you would have to change the shebang operator in all OTRS scripts from

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

to

Code: Select all

#!/your/new/path/to/perl/perl -w

you should get a list of all relevant programs by running

Code: Select all

grep -R '#!/usr' * 

from you OTRS home directory

Hope that helps

this will be hell of work on every update, installing packages and so on. I also doubt, that you'll get mod_perl running with this, as you also need to compile this with new PERL version.

So you should try to get the box upgraded your install a new one

I agree.. switching to Trellis.
