Re: CPAN frequently reports older module version

Try to also upgrade your cpan. Type cpan, then inside it type "install CPAN". maybe you do need a higher cpan version... it also rechecks unmet dependencies and has fixed some weird cpan problems for me in the past...

If your repository is in ~/.cpan then why not move the directory to ~/.cpan.old and try to download again?	[reply]

That's a good idea. I'm not going to try it, though, because I switched to using plenv, carton, and mcpan instead. My work environment is not CPAN-friendly. Should I delete this quiestion (entire node), or leave it up, because people have tried to answer?	[reply]
