I guess "reluctant to upgrade" describes me quite well.
I like the modules, libraries, configuration, etc that I have.
I usually "upgrade" when I get a new machine and go through the whole new config when that happens.
I just like what I have and am hesitant to upgrade, only to find that other things I may have working might now fail on me.
I also have some production code that I could not afford to lose or have stop working. Getting Geo::Coder to work in my existing environment is my preferable choice.

Another responder wrote "Is it possible this is just the download cache, and that you've yet to make and install these modules?"
If that's the case, then I'm completely up the river as, I've always relied on the ActiveState PPM to do this for me. I've *never* had to do the make - make-install - make-test stuff. This scares me!
