Hi,
I want to switch between shorewall 4.0.6 to the latest 4.4.13.3 and from
opensuse10.3 to ubuntu10.04

Set up ubuntu10.04 on a dedicated PC (Intel), downloaded
shorewall-4.4.13.3.tar.bz2 and had it installed via
tar -jxf and then ./install.sh from the extracted shorewall-4.4.13.3
subdirectory

Ubuntu10.04 comes standard with perl 5.10.1  ($ perl -v --> Perl, v5.10.1)
Reading the Shorewall-4.html file, told me that also Prerequisted for
shorewall 4.2/4.4 are the perl modules
Cwd, File::Basename, File::Temp, GetOpt::Long, Carp, FindBin, Scalar::Util

Are these included in the the tar.bz2 ??

I thought not, so I did
# perl -MCPAN -e shell
(this first did some setup, I accepted all the defaults)
cpan[1]> install Cwd
this installed it over the Internet
cpan[2] install File::Basename
this told me it can't install that because the most recent version belongs
to perl-5.12.2
I tried:
cpan[3] force install File::Basename
this started to upgrade (or install alongside ??) my perl to perl-5.12.2
(took quite some time)
and a 100 questions for which I choose the default answers ...
after a reboot indeed, perl -v  tells me:  Perl, v5.12.2

Did
# perl -MCPAN -e shell
again (which also did the setup again...)
cpan[1]> install Cwd
(seems it is needed to install again since  # instmodsh (to list the
installed modules), did not find Cwd anymore)
then I did the install of the other modules needed for shorewall, but for
all of the following
(except the last one,Scalar::Util) it told me that the module was 'up to
date' ... (? inlcuded in standard Perl 5.12.2 ??)
Still
# installmodsh
cmd? l  (l for list)
shows only
Cwd
List::Util
Perl

Is all this normal ??
Does shorewall-4.4.13.3 work OK with perl 5.12.2 ?

Or could I have used perl 5.10.1 and with some trick in perl -MCPAN -e shell
have installed version 5.10.1. compatible perl modules needed for
shorewall-4.4.13.3 ?
