Product: SC + TXVersions: 4.x, 5.0
Platform: ALL
Why is wwwinstall.cgi giving a warning that my Perl version is not new enough?
Solution ID: S04330
First obtain the path to perl that ShopSite expects by looking at the setting in the install (or Preferences->Hosting Service) screen for "location of Perl Executable". To determine your version of perl, run this perl binary from the command line. Your command would look something like this:
/usr/bin/perl -v
ShopSite requires a Perl version of at least 5.003.
If your perl version is less than this then you will need to upgrade your perl package or find another, newer, perl binary somewhere on the system.
If you have perl version 5.6, ShopSite may mistakenly report that your perl version is not sufficient because the output of the perl version command has changed somewhat. You should still be able to install ShopSite, so it is OK to continue past the screen with this warning. This warning will be fixed in the version of ShopSite after 5.0.
