Ok - I'm really trying to understand the installation of perl modules
using CPAN and manually.
So far, the most consistent method I've been able to find is to use CPAN
to "get" the module and then manually compile it in the .cpan/build
directory. If I try to use CPAN to install I end up with all sorts of
problems - including it trying to download perl-5.6.1 when it's already
installed.
Here's the problem I'm having with the manual install.
Using 'r' in CPAN I get a list of modules with upgrades available. I get
the module, make, test and install it. Do an 'r' again and it still
shows the old module. Look for that module name and it turns out the old
module is still in:
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i386-linux/
and the new modules is installed in:
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/
I copy the module over the old one and it seems to act ok - but I must
be doing something wrong.
This is a rh7.1 system with the 5.6.1 rpm loaded from falsehope.
Is there something I should be doing to specify a different install
directory?
Thanks,
Kevin
