You might want to decouple the Perl from the OS RPM and build your own /$local/bin/perl that you control the version of and the CPAN versions in the matching /$local/lib/perl ( for a suitable value of $local ) -- not as a hotfix, but as a strategic move to let you move forward. The other modules you want the new features or fixes in are less and less likely to continue supporting 5.010_01 -- Bill Ricker [email protected] https://www.linkedin.com/in/n1vux _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
