Fellow monks,
I've installed Perl 5.10 from source to /opt/perl510/ on a Linux (Kernel 2.6.24-24) system and a couple of CPAN-Modules via /opt/perl510/bin/cpan to /opt/perl510/lib/.
Now I try to upgrade all modules with CPAN.pm version 1.94:
# /opt/perl510/bin/cpan
....
cpan[1]> upgrade
CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.20)
CPAN: YAML loaded ok (v0.68)
....
Package namespace installed latest in CPAN file
B 1.17 1.19 NWCLARK/perl-5.8.9.tar.
+gz
....
Running install for module 'File::Copy'
The most recent version "2.13" of the module "File::Copy"
is part of the perl-5.8.9 distribution. To install that, you need to r
+un
force install File::Copy --or--
install N/NW/NWCLARK/perl-5.8.9.tar.gz
- Why is the newest version of e.g. File::Copy in 5.8.9 and not in 5.10?
- Is there a way to get rid of these calls to perl-5.8.9?
