I am just starting out to use Fedora and learned about installations with the yum function.
I have installed Perl 5.10.0-26, and the message shows that it had been installed:
However, when I tried to execute a basic hello script in Perl, it tells me
bash: ./total.pl: /usr/local/bin/perl: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
It is true that I don't see Perl in this directory, but is it necessary that I have to move my Perl installation?
Thanks in advance.

What does "% locate perl" say? Put that after #! in the first line of
total.pl. Alternatively, try "% perl total.pl"

If you execute [#which perl ] it should return /usr/bin/perl .
Do you have a line at the top of your total.pl script like this
(#!/usr/local/bin/perl).
It should read /usr/bin/perl.

Change the first line of the script to point to the correct Perl
location. You probably want "#!/usr/bin/perl" without the quotes.

It would be better to adjust your script to point to /usr/bin/perl.
If you need the script to run on various systems where perl might be
in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin or somewhere else in the path, you could
also use /usr/bin/env perl or (I think) just perl.
All of this is on the first line of the perl script you're trying to
run, aka the shellbang, shebang, hashbang, etc. It needs to start
with #!. So one of these should work:
#!/usr/bin/perl
#!/usr/bin/env perl
#!perl

Your bang line doesn't need "local";
#!/usr/bin/perl
should suffice.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
is helpful for debugging.
Logged in as root, you could always create a symlink, but that could cause
headaches later if you stick to #!/usr/local/bin/perl
ln -s /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/perl

It is true that I don't see Perl in this directory, but is it necessary that I have to move my Perl installation?
Thanks in advance.

No, just put a symlink in /usr/local/bin that points to the fedora perl
at /usr/bin/perl
Thanks in advance.
