to 1.29.
As Stas knows, I've actually already installed 1.99 for Apache2, and I'm wondering if CPAN's likely to have broken anything for me. I suspect not, I'm just tying up loose ends.
Oh, and will in-place upgrading my perl from 5.6.1 to 5.8.1 break things? Will I, for example, have to rebuild mod_perl or anything?
Assuming that any 3rd party mp2 modules are written to use ModPerl::MM, they will all install themselves into Apache2/ subdirs. mp1 3rd party modules will go to the normal places. The only problem with 3rd party mp2 modules is that CPAN.pm won't be able to find them, unless you adjust @INC and it'll try to install modules even though there are already installed. Therefore what you want to do when working with CPAN.pm is:
I believe that was an answer to my first question. Though I'm having trouble parsing it... :-)
Sorry, typing faster than thinking. I hope you don't try and upgrade your production server before trying things on the dev/test machine. Just go ahead and try and if something is broken, we will fix that.
But I'm not sure about my second one. Perhaps upgrading to 5.8.1 ewill magically make all my problems go away. But I'm not 9 anymore...
oops, missed the second one. 5.6 and 5.8 aren't binary compatible -- i.e. you need to rebuild everything, mod_perl and all the Perl/XS modules.
