Re^2: THREE new perl releases [Updated releases!]

5.38.1 installed normally for me on 10+ installations and works fine with the 100+ modules i installed.

From what i can tell, the main change in the new release is Module::CoreList, which should be easily fixable by installing the new version on the existing 5.38.1 installation.

But of course, since the new Perl release also comes with a new B::Op_private, ye olde cpan upgrade will fail with an error in the middle of the process :-(

To be clear, i'm not complaining that perlporters had to make an emergency bugfix release; in fact i'm glad that everyone reacted quickly and efficiently. I'm just frustrated that all the work i did monday was now made worse-than-useless, and i have to run through that whole process again. If this problem had happened on a normal feature relase, i wouldn't have started the upgrade process for a couple of weeks. But since it was an important patch for some security problems, i started right away...

Oh well, back to building pyramids.

G'day cavac, I posted "Updated releases!" as soon as I became aware of the newer versions. I did actually think of you, as you'd written: "Guess i'll be spending most of today reinstalling Perl+Modules on my 15+ systems i administrate..." Hoping `🏗️◭◮` is not too onerous. — Ken	[reply]

No worries. I'd rather install two security updates a week than having a gaping hole in my server without having access to some way to fix it :-) PerlMonks XP is useless? Not anymore: XPD - Do more with your PerlMonks XP	[reply]
