Since you are running Linux, you can do the following:

ln -s /usr/local/bin/perl.5.18.x /usr/local/bin/[ourperl]   ## [ ] wha
+tever makes sense
[download]

Also you should have a test script with 'use ...' for all CPAN modules that are required for your new Perl to work correctly. When Perl 5.20.x comes out, install/test it and then just change the link with the force parm ('-f') and everyone gets updated to the new Perl.

Good Luck

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
