None: they're hard links to each other, provided for convenience.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ ls -i1 /usr/bin/perl{-5.005,5*}
2275 /usr/bin/perl-5.005
2275 /usr/bin/perl5.005

You're best off using /usr/bin/perl instead, though (which should always
link through the alternatives system to a useful version).
