Re: Finding Module Versions - How Would You Do It?

I suspect that your CPAN Modules were installed by doing something like ...

$ perl -MCPAN -e install DBI
[download]

... but just in case this is not the case and your CPAN Perl modules were installed via yum/rpm (or Debian deb files) you could easily discover the version of the Perl module with a command line like this, rpm -q perl-DBI, in the case of Redhat.

If you're using the OS vendor's outdated version of perl for your own perl programs, then that would be a great idea. Personally, I'll stick to using CPAN installed modules compiled against a modern version of perl.	[reply]

Or one could create their own RPMs, but that is a lot of work when you hit a modules that has a lot of dependencies. It would be great if CPAN would generate the RPM's as well as working out and installing the dependencies.	[reply]
