Thanks Stevie. Question - Instead of going thru the hassle of upgrading, if I can use CPAN to do the installation on Solaris 10, then all the dependent modules will be installed on to the current perl version 5.10.1 automatically correct? If the above statement is true, normally who does this installation in a company like a Unix admin?	[reply]

If I'm understanding you correctly, yes, when you install from CPAN, it'll install all needed dependencies, granted the `Makefile.PL` or `Build.PL` of the modules are configured with their dependencies properly (I rarely ever have issues with dependencies when installing via CPAN). Also, if you've got Unix sysadmins, that's who would most likely do the installs.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

One followup question is that I have installed the current version of perl 5.22 on my windows and is there that I can just move all the dependent modules related .pm files to solaris server and place them in PERL5LIB location so that I can just use these modules as if they are installed on server?

For your reference Re: targetting for multiple perl versions, so that you read up about cpanm . Along with perlbrew its a hassle free way to manage your multiple perl installs. All the best The Great Programmer is one who inspires others to code, not just one who writes great code	[reply]
