NAME

perl55 - execute perlscript on ActivePerl 5.8 or Strawbery Perl 5.8 without %PATH% settings (poor App::perlbrew)

SYNOPSIS

perl55 [perlscript.pl]

DESCRIPTION

This software is useful when perl5.5 and other version of perl are on the one computer. Do not set perl5.5's bin directory to %PATH%.

It is necessary to install perl5.5 in "\Perl55\bin" directory of the drive of either. This software is executed by perl5.5, and find the perl5.5 and execute it.

 Find perl5.5 order by,
     Z:\Perl55\bin\perl.exe
     Y:\Perl55\bin\perl.exe
     X:\Perl55\bin\perl.exe
                 :
                 :
     C:\Perl55\bin\perl.exe

     Z:\strawberry\Perl55\bin\perl.exe
     Y:\strawberry\Perl55\bin\perl.exe
     X:\strawberry\Perl55\bin\perl.exe
                 :
                 :
     C:\strawberry\Perl55\bin\perl.exe

When found it at last, set its path to environment variable PERL55BIN.
