Hi, Upgrade is not possible. It's SLES 11 SP4 and SLES tries to keep the versions running as long as possible. That is the idea of an enterprise version. We don't have commercial support. If modules are available through SLES i prefer these, because rpm's can be deleted completely from the system. I don't know how to remove a package cleanly which i installed with CPAN. Is there a way ? Perl is used for a web application. I managed to install Bundle::Cpan with just 2 errors. Everything seem to rune fine although i don't really trust it. What is the difference between Bundle::Cpan and CPAN ? Maybe you have also an answer for these two questions:

#   Database was generated on Tue, 03 Feb 1970 03:17:06 GMT
# Warning: This index file is 16794 days old.
#   Please check the host you chose as your CPAN mirror for staleness.
#   I'll continue but problems seem likely to happen.

What does this mean ? I get it quite often, also on other systems. And what does this mean ?
