I've been trying to keep relatively up to date with modules using CPAN.
I think I'm running into a little problem though. When I look through
the perl directories after installing a new module some seem to install
in a different part of the tree leaving the old module laying around.
For instance, I just downloaded Digest::MD5 and installed it. Then did a
'find / -name "MD5.*" 2>/dev/null' and came up with the following results:
/usr/share/man/man3/MD5.3pm.gz
/usr/share/man/man3/MD5.3pm
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i386-linux/Digest/MD5.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i386-linux/MD5.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i386-linux/auto/Digest/MD5/MD5.bs
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i386-linux/auto/Digest/MD5/MD5.so
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/MD5.pm
/usr/man/man3/MD5.3
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/MD5.pm is $VERSION = '2.02'; # $Date:
2001/03/14 04:44:31 $
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i386-linux/Digest/MD5.pm is $VERSION =
'2.16'; # $Date: 2001/09/07 05:45:14 $
Do I delete the 2.02 version? Do I have to do this for every module I
install or do I have something configured incorrectly that I have to
hunt down?
My method for downloading and installing might be a bit unconventional.
I use 'perl -MCPAN -eshell' and the 'r' command to find updated modules.
I then get the modules and install them manually. I've had problems in
the past installing from the shell.
Pointers in the right direction are appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin
