in reply to Obtaining newer version of a module now only in perl distribution

Hmmm,

Maybe it's me, but perl -MCPAN -e 'install "File::Stat"' works for me, however perl -MCPAN -e 'install "File::stat"' doesn't. Have you tried the workarounds that CPAN shell suggests i.e. use the force flag ?

A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))

    OP has File::stat module, with lowercase "s". Different enough animals they are with superficial resemblance.

      I am sorry, Bloodnok, for the nonsensical reply because it is I who confused "stat" & "Stat", not you.
