OSX 10.10 select perl 5.16 instead of 5.18
I find that my OSX 10.10 comes with perl 5.16 and 5.18. By default, when I run perl, I am using perl 5.18. Is there way for me to run perl 5.16 when I run perl command?

If you want to avoid mucking with the base system, you could add an alias to your environment. For example, in your ~/.bashrc:
alias perl="/usr/bin/perl5.16"
Or add a symlink to /usr/bin/perl5.16 in your $PATH, which may be preferable. For example
ln -s /usr/bin/perl5.16 ~/bin/perl
Then in your ~/.bashrc, add:
export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
This won't address scripts that have a shebang line pointing directly to /usr/bin/perl, however.
For more sophisticated and convenient management of multiple Perl installs, consider using Perlbrew.
