[EMAIL PROTECTED] [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] quoth:
*>Can someone please explain to how to keep perl version upgrades from breaking
everything? a:)
Don't upgrade :) Wise man say "No broke, don't fix."
*>Most typically, it's a CPAN upgrade that installs a newer version of perl i.e.
5.005_03 to 5.6.1. Once that happens, mod_perl breaks, all kinds of very usefull
modules stop working. Making me and my users very unhappy types indeed.
CPAN.pm has been known to have this rather irritating problem. When you
notice it fetching Perl 5.6.1 kill the job and install the module by hand.
If you cannot find a version of the module which, since it's going to get
5.6.1, is likely a core module at this point, use BackPAN to get a copy of
it before it was absorbed into Perl itself.
