with a TON of CPAN modules. It was also used to build an apache/
mod_perl setup.
For a number of reasons I'm upgrading a bunch of things and would
like to upgrade to perl-5.8.7 WITHOUT having to re-install all of
the CPAN modules. What is the "best" way to do this? I think what I
want is to have the following directories ...
/usr/local/perl-5.8.6/lib/site_perl/5.8.6/darwin-2level
/usr/local/perl-5.8.6/lib/site_perl/5.8.6
/usr/local/perl-5.8.6/lib/site_perl
... automagically appended to @INC. Is there a Configure option to
do that or something?
If you do the interactive configuration, it asks at one point if you
want to add directories to the module search path. You'll know it
when you see it - it specifically mentions an upgrade scenario where
you want to access previously-installed CPAN modules.
