You need to specify the authors CPAN directory when you want to install a developer version of a module because they are not included in the normal module index. So the “elegant” command to install that module using the CPAN shell is: cpan M/MI/MIVKOVIC/Mail-Sendmail-0.79_16.tar.gz Cheers, -Jan From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tim Bolshaw Sent: Thursday, September 02, 2010 4:02 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Best way to include developer version of a module The Mail::Sendmail module included in the ppm repositories, and installed using either ppm or cpan is version 0.79 (dated 06 Feb 2003). There is a "developer" release 0.79_16 (dated 08 Jul 2006) that has significant enhancements, not least SMTP AUTH support. I could not find an elegant way to force cpan to pick up that version, and have been just downloading the tar and overwriting the Sendmail.pm file. What is the recommended way of handling this issue? -- Tim Bolshaw _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
