Not disrespecting the replies about how to update via CPAN, I thought I should mention that several Linux distros provide packages around perl modules For example, modules Perl::DBI and Perl::DBD::MySQL are packaged as follows: Fedora Debian Gentoo perl-DBI libdbi-perl dev-perl/DBI perl-DBD-MySQL libdbd-mysql-perl dev-perl/DBD-mysql If, perchance, your requirement included only those modules that were under package control by your distro vendor, (and assuming of course that sufficiently new versions of said modules are packaged), then you could rely on your OS's package tools to upgrade your perl modules. Incidentally, whether you upgrade by hand, or whether you upgrade via package tools doesn't change the fact that you remain responsible for QA testing your application on any new environment. That goes with the territory. There's nothing holy about manually building things.
