Re^7: cpan & strawberry perl errors

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

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".
