I am using cpanp or cpan plus to handle perl modules on
a FreeBSD system. If I give the command
cpanp -i Net::DNS
it installs Net::DNS 0.73. Normally, this is exactly what one
would want it to do but Net::DNS0.73 is buggy. At least one bug
causes domain name server or DNS updates to fail so I either
want the version just below Net:DNS0.73 or there are a couple of
versions of it dated January of 2014, basically anything but the
one it keeps trying to install.
What am I supposed to do to safely fix this problem and
hopefully keep the rest of perl working and cause the
installation of Net::DNS 0.something else?
cpanp -h says, in part,
i MODULE | NUMBER ... # install module(s), by name or by search number
cpanp -f Net::DNS lists all versions of Net::DNS and
their release dates of which there are 11. What is the search
number?
Thank you.
Martin
