Yours might be simply an upgrade question, but if you need the latest, greatest(?) perl, you can use perlbrew[1] to install multiple versions of perl in your home directory. This avoids problems of what the Debian system expects for its purposes. Also, local::lib[2] allows you to install modules in your home directory of different (generally later) versions than are available through Debian packages. cheers, Joel 1. https://metacpan.org/module/perlbrew 2. https://metacpan.org/module/local::lib > TIA > -- > Best wishes / 73 > Richard Bown > > e-mail: rich...@g8jvm.com or richard.b...@blueyonder.co.uk > > nil carborundum a illegitemis > ################################################################################## > Ham Call G8JVM .
