I already have 5.8.0 installed using ...
./Configure -de -Dprefix=/usr/local/perl-5.8.0
... and have a LOT of CPAN extras installed there as well. Is there an easy way to get install the new version in /usr/local/perl-5.8.1 and have it use all of my existing CPAN modules without reinstalling all of them?
I tried doing ...
sudo cp -pR /usr/local/perl-5.8.0 /usr/local/perl-5.8.1
... before doing the 'make install' thinking it would do an "upgrade", leaving the extra stuff alone, but it looks like it puts everything in 5.8.1 sub-directories and doesn't include the 5.8.0 sub-directories in @INC.
