I have recently updated a CentOS 6 server. On a recommendation, I used the "Continuous Release" yum repository to get a few security updates. Unfortunately, this broke a couple perl based web applications running on that server. The author of those perl applications thinks that some system library has been changed, probably related to ssl. (I know, I'm long winded ;-)).

I need a way to rebuild and reinstall all of the CPAN modules that were built using the old libraries. I guess I could wander though the .cpan/build directory structure hoping that a "make clean/all/install", etc would catch it, but I would hope that there is a more productive way to get it done.

Suggestions?
