[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2005/03/03]

I'm currently using perl v5.6.1 and would like to
upgrade it to v5.8.5, also when i download and install
modules from cpan.org it prints this at the end of
installation:
"Appending installation info to
/usr/lib/perl/5.6.1/perllocal.pod"
I have 2 questions:
1. How do i upgrade from 5.6.1 to 5.8.5 
2. that it is If i upgrade to perl 5.8.5, am i going
to lose all the modules i built and installed, if no,
how do i make sure that all these modules that i built
and installed are still available in the newer
version.

thanks in advance.

Gokul
