Observe the following typescript from a Gentoo Linux system. The
module encode is currently at version 2.12, and I would like to
upgrade it to the current CPAN version, which is 2.35. But when I try
to do that, CPAN cannot find the module. This happens on a number of
others as well, all of them unqualified so far (no '::' in the names).
What gives?
cpan[2]> m Encode
Module id = Encode

cpan[4]> q
First, this is wayyyyy off-topic.
Second, m Encode shows that it's a standard module. INST_FILE shows
it's not in the site_perl directory. Both of these mean it's
distributed with Perl, and is not available on CPAN. The only way to
get a new version of Encode is to upgrade Perl.
