NAME

perl516 - execute perlscript on ActivePerl 5.8 or Strawbery Perl 5.8 without %PATH% settings (poor App::perlbrew)

SYNOPSIS

perl516 [perlscript.pl]

DESCRIPTION

This software is useful when perl5.16 and other version of perl are on the one computer. Do not set perl5.16's bin directory to %PATH%.

It is necessary to install perl5.16 in "\Perl516\bin" directory of the drive of either. This software is executed by perl5.16, and find the perl5.16 and execute it.

 Find perl5.16 order by,
     Z:\Perl516\bin\perl.exe
     Y:\Perl516\bin\perl.exe
     X:\Perl516\bin\perl.exe
                 :
                 :
     C:\Perl516\bin\perl.exe

     Z:\strawberry\Perl516\bin\perl.exe
     Y:\strawberry\Perl516\bin\perl.exe
     X:\strawberry\Perl516\bin\perl.exe
                 :
                 :
     C:\strawberry\Perl516\bin\perl.exe

When found it at last, set its path to environment variable PERL516BIN.

EXAMPLES

    C:\> perl516 foo.pl
    [..execute foo.pl by perl5.16..]
