Managers,
Earlier today I had asked

Chris H. Ruhnke <i769646_at_smrs013.mdc.com> reported his version of perl works
fine after the upgrade to 4.0d.
Steve VanDevender <stevev_at_hexadecimal.uoregon.edu> explained

This is the explanation. I deleted the System V Environment as part of my
"upgrade".
Thanks to all.
