Yes, and unfortunately, that only tells you what versions you have
installed.  It does _not_ tell you what version typing 'perl' will run.

Because your $PATH environment variables are not set the same.  One
machine has /usr/local/bin (or wherever perl 5.8.0 ended up) _before_
and one has it _after_ /usr/contrib/bin, which I believe is where
perl 4.x resides.

Fix your $PATH, and you'll be a lot happier.  :)

/usr/local/bin/perl.  But it's much safer to fix your PATH, so you don't
have other similar problems.
