Different perl versions as loadable kernel modulesby Amblikai (Scribe) |

Amblikai has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: Hi Monks! So i have an issue which i'm sure has been encountered many many times before. Basically we run RHEL5 on our systems and it ships with Perl 5.8.8. Obviously, i want to use 5.20.1. This presents a problem. I can install locally (and i have) but obviously if other people are to use scripts that we develop and roll out then we can't just have everyone installing perl locally. Our Sys admins, refuse to upgrade as then they'd have to maintain it etc. We do however use the "module" system for most of our tools. So, my question is, what's the usual way this is dealt with and what's involved in having various perl versions available as kernel modules, if it's even possible? Cheers!
