    No, I meant reinstalling your distro's Perl. You overwrote it with 5.15.2, which is a development release on the way towards 5.16.

    In theory, you could possibly proceed with 5.15.2, but it probably has bugs.

      oh no, that explains it. I am working in ubuntu, so do I go through the software manager, remove all perl modules and reinstall
      why do they release development versions to mess up people's work and time....I cannot reinstall my original version because some dependencies have been established. Does anyone know how to fix this in ubuntu

        why do they release development versions to mess up people's work and time.

        The don't release development versions to mess up people's work and time.

        Why do people override cpan when it says it won't install something because it will likely cause problems?
