So I am trying to upgrade a couple of modules in my perl library, and for this example I will use the Compress::Raw::Zlib one. The issue I am having is that even thought he whole prosssess goes smoothly the distro still thinks I am using the old library ?

Step 1: Perly 
 bash-4.1$ perl Makefile.PL 
Parsing config.in...
Building Zlib enabled
Auto Detect Gzip OS Code..
Setting Gzip OS Code to 3 [Unix/Default]
Looks Good.
Up/Downgrade not needed.
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
