To avoid such problems with CPAN/CPANPLUS, I think that's correct that all the prior RCs should be removed. The problem is is that, even though, for example, Apache::PerlSections in RC4 will be renamed to Apache2::PerlSections, the CPAN/PAUSE indices map modules to distributions, and so will keep older versions of distributions around if they contain modules that are no longer present in the latest version of a distribution. -- best regards, randy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
