in reply to annoying upgrade issue

This probably won't help you in this case but if you still have the old perl binary left then you can do:

/path/to/old/perl -MCPAN -e'autobundle'
To create a Bundle::Snapshot_2004_07_07_00 (probably different date of course) and then do:
/path/to/new/perl -MCPAN -e'install "Bundle::Snapshot_2004_07_07_0 +0"'
and this will automatically install all the modules for your new perl.

    hrm ... i dunno if i have the old one around or not. but, would that also pull down newer versions of installed modules, if there is a newer one?

      It is capture the version of the installed module but I think that it will get a newer one if one is available.
