Good day; I work in an environment where the stuff that goes onto our network is tightly regulated. In my time of subscribing to this list, I have found there to be a bunch of modules available on CPAN that we don't have access to. (Our current baseline is v5.005_03 !!!). I would like to update our version of Perl as well as load some CPAN modules.
I'm guessing that I'll need to get ActiveState loaded first of all, then worry about how to load the individual modules into our environment as they are needed. <feel free to correct me on this>. I *think* that having ActiveState will make the module-loading process less painful. Question: To those who have installed Perl on a large network, what 'challenges' are out there that I need to be aware of? Are the sysadmins correct in their "major" concerns? My guess is that they think that having Perl on the network will conflict with other applications being used. <my gut feeling is no, but that's without any in-depth research> Where could I find documentation that might be able to support my goal of getting a more up-to-date version of Perl installed as well as the possibility of having the capability of getting modules added in the future? Hope this makes sense. I thank you for your time, in advance. Sincerely, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
