Re^5: Programmatically installing modules

And how do you check if the already installed module has the correct version? :)

sudo cpan -D List::Util
CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.21)

    /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0/List/Util.pm
    Installed: 1.22
    CPAN:      1.35  Not up to date

Well this is really just a hack and for the time being I don't care about version. Detecting that a module is installed is good enough. I grant you that it is not the cleanest, but my problem is that I want to automate the installation of some third-party software that does not explicitely lists dependencies on particular versions. I can't do any better at the moment.	[reply]
