I never did it, but you should be able to take your base OS media<br />
and either use the &quot;-F&quot; flag of installp or set to &quot;yes&quot; the &quot;Overwrite same or newer versions&quot; option of &quot;smitty install&quot; to overwrite your new Perl with the old one.<br />

I am at TL11 and the perl is at 5.8.8. TL11 upgrade also upgrades perl to 5.8.8. Now my base media has perl 5.8.2. Do you think it will downgrade. Or is it a good option to uninstall everything and install once again.<br />
<br />
I can go to smitty uninstall &nbsp;and uninstall perl5.8.8 and reinstall perl from base media and upgrade perl using AIXTLUpgrade binaries

Uninstall Perl and reinstall

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
