Re^6: cpan & strawberry perl errors

I'd try an older version -I/olderstuff...

I'm not sure what the enboldened bit of the above means?

Is there some cpan trick to install an older version of something?

I'm not sure what the enboldened bit of the above means? Is there some cpan trick to install an older version of something? perl -I/path/to/older version ... if installed in custom location using INSTALL_BASE way ( local::lib way ) as demonstrated (on not win32) in Re^3: object version does not match bootstrap parameter ( cpanm --local-lib PERL5LIB) Is there some cpan trick to install an older version of something? There is probably through interactive interface, then there is cpan GBARR/IO-1.25.tar.gz ... thats the latest on cpan ... latest is http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/history/HEAD:/dist/IO/lib/IO/Socket.pm	[reply]

According to your version dump you have IO v1.25_6. According to the below, I have IO-1.25, which reports itself as 1.28: <Reveal this spoiler or all in this thread> There isn't a v1.25_6 on cpan! And according to the versions dumps, I have IO::Socket 1.36, and you have 1.34, but according to search.cpan, the latest version available is "Module Version: 1.31 Source Latest Release: IO-1.31-TRIAL". At this point I think I'm going to rely on wget.
