A future integration of a newer Perl won't be completely compatible with the current /usr/bin/perl, so I'm not sure how this aggravation can be addressed without putting existing Perl programs at risk. (Am I confused about what would help this aggravation -- a symlink from /usr/bin/perl to a newer Perl?) > > - could you verify that your perl installation contains this bundle: > http://search.cpan.org/~koha/Bundle-KohaSupport-0.31/lib/Bundle/KohaSupport.pm > > > Given the number of packages listed by that bundle, it seems very unlikely. But OTOH it is a nice concise list of a number of individual CPAN modules to consider. I'll carry that list to any Perl conversations I'm aware of. Thanks, Jeff
