BrowserUk,
But attempting to upgrade a major version (5.8.x to 5.10.x) and retain previously installed modules almost certainly won't. ...

Your best course of action would be to delete your entire perl directory tree (which you should have done in the first place) and install 5.10 again.

Note: This is not a bug in AS Perl, it is how it is designed to work.

Perhaps you missed the part where I said I de-installed AS Perl 5.8.8 before installing AS Perl 5.10.0? In fact, AS Perl 5.10.0 won't let you install when it detects a previous version. Granted, I probably should have confirmed the perl directory was wiped but if AS refused to install prior to the de-install and happily agreed after, how was I to know it did not do its job correctly?

Cheers - L~R
