in reply to CPAN Update of File::Temp Doesn't Update

CPAN downloads the current File::Temp version (0.20) and successfully builds it and installs it into the expected location pointed to by the PREFIX. It then re-attempts to build HTTP::Body which fails with the same error

This looks like %ISA isn't updated after building and installing the new File::Temp. CPAN requires File::Temp to get at its version, downloads the new package, builds and installs it, then goes to build HTTP::Body - still having the old File::Temp loaded.

Quitting the CPAN shell after having installed File::Temp and invoking it again to install HTTP::Body should work.

    ++ for the help! Your suggestion doesn't change anything however! I leave CPAN, open new shells, even reboot the machine, but the results persist.

    This behaviour must be a Mac thing. Perhaps they are caching or somehow using a pre-built DLL for the Perl modules...?

    I suppose I'll just have to make a new Perl installation... Strange...
