As a sysadmin who is examining a large number of Unix systems (around 1500) and other systems across a medium size enterprise, to determine what Unix patches need to be applied for the OS and Java, what steps would need to be taken for perl to be updated appropriately with the latest Date/Time and Olson TZ database? Are there tools in the perl world for this to be done on a wide scale (many hosts) with efficiency (as little manual repetition as possible)? Please reply to this forum. Directions to more appropriate forums or resources are welcome. thanks. -Jim
