Re: Re: Re: commented out s/// prevents script running!

I havent yet tried with perl 5.8.3, so I am still running 5.8.0, but i
+ did this;

perl -d tsm_processjob.cgi

and the debugger say's;

Switch::filter_blocks(/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/Switch.pm:94
94:              component: while (pos $source < length $source)
95:              {



Does this give anyone any hints??

also, regarding perl 5.8.3, I did a succesful make, install, from the 
+perl source distribution etc.. but I can still only find 5.8.0 on my 
+system. What gives?

Thanks,

Matt.

ok, figured out a way of getting 5.8.3 invoked instead of 5.8.0 .. but, and this is a big but, cries do I _have_ to install all of my modules again??!	[reply]

Fire up `perl5.8.0 -MCPAN -e shell` and use `autobundle` to create a Bundle for your old installation; fire up `perl5.8.3 -MCPAN -e shell` and install the created Bundle (Something like `Bundle::Snapshot_2004_03_03_00.pm`), lean back and let perl do the work ;-) regards, tomte Hlade's Law: If you have a difficult task, give it to a lazy person -- they will find an easier way to do it.

figured out a way of getting 5.8.3 invoked instead of 5.8.0 .. but, and this is a big but, cries do I _have_ to install all of my modules again? Short answer: yes. Longer answer: if the modules don't use XS, you might be able to avoid re-installing them by messing with @INC, but this is probably not recommended if you don't know what you're doing. Fire up `perl -MCPAN -e shell` and install your modules again -- that's the easy way. `;$;=sub{$/};@;=map{my($a,$b)=($_,$;);$;=sub{$a.$b->()}}` `split//,".rekcah lreP rehtona tsuJ";$\=$;[-1]->();print`	[reply] [d/l]

5.8.3 is supposed to be binary-compatible with 5.8.0, so if you configured it to include the 5.8.0 directories (and built it with the same options) it shouldn't be necessary to your modules.	[reply]
