You don't mention which kind of issues you are experiencing, so it would be very difficult to tell whether or not YAML causes these. We bundle some Perl modules in Kernel/cpan-lib for two reasons: you'll have to install less dependencies if you will set up OTRS, and second, we can control the version that OTRS uses; we do not need to bother about distribution X shipping version 0.1 and distribution Y shipping with version 0.9 of the same module; it gives us more control. Apart from that, typically OTRS will always use the version in Kernel/cpan-lib, even if you have installed a different version on your system using CPAN, yum or apt-get. Also, the rest of your system (everything else but OTRS) will not use these modules, so you will not have to worry that OTRS will break the rest of your system by shipping its own set of libraries. So that's why I think it would be very unlikely that the YAML version you installed via CPAN and the version you'll get with OTRS will actually cause issues here. Of course, it *could* be that somewhere in the OTRS code we don't properly check Kernel/cpan-lib before searching the rest of the system, but again, that would be unlikely I think. Also, the YAML code is only used in few places; for instance in saving the configuration for the new OTRS web services. So if you can share the error message you ran in to, maybe we can help you pin-point the exact cause. -- Mike --------------------------------------------------------------------- OTRS mailing list: otrs - Webpage: http://otrs.org/ Archive: http://lists.otrs.org/pipermail/otrs To unsubscribe: http://lists.otrs.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/otrs
