Fellow monks,

I've installed Perl 5.10 from source to /opt/perl510/ on a Linux (Kernel 2.6.24-24) system and a couple of CPAN-Modules via /opt/perl510/bin/cpan to /opt/perl510/lib/.

Now I try to upgrade all modules with CPAN.pm version 1.94:

# /opt/perl510/bin/cpan
....
cpan[1]> upgrade
CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.20)
CPAN: YAML loaded ok (v0.68)
....
Package namespace         installed    latest  in CPAN file
B                              1.17      1.19  NWCLARK/perl-5.8.9.tar.
+gz
....
Running install for module 'File::Copy'
The most recent version "2.13" of the module "File::Copy"
is part of the perl-5.8.9 distribution. To install that, you need to r
+un
  force install File::Copy   --or--
  install N/NW/NWCLARK/perl-5.8.9.tar.gz
[download]

• Why is the newest version of e.g. File::Copy in 5.8.9 and not in 5.10?
• Is there a way to get rid of these calls to perl-5.8.9?
