I'm currently using perl v5.6.1 and would like to
upgrade it to v5.8.5, also when i download and install
modules from cpan.org it prints this at the end of
installation:
"Appending installation info to
/usr/lib/perl/5.6.1/perllocal.pod"
I have 2 questions:
1. How do i upgrade from 5.6.1 to 5.8.5 2. that it is If i upgrade to perl 5.8.5, am i going
to lose all the modules i built and installed, if no,
how do i make sure that all these modules that i built
and installed are still available in the newer
version.
Gokul, please remember that this is a mod_perl list. To ask perl-specific questions please use some of the lists you can find here: http://lists.perl.org/, http://perlmonks.org/, etc.
The only relevant part might be the mod_perl. So the answer is: Once you've upgraded to 5.8.5, you will need to reinstall mod_perl and all the modules that include XS/C code in them. But since usually you get a completely empty tree you will need to reinstall all modules. You can simplify the task using CPAN.pm's autobundle:
