Re: Sysadmin questions on efficient installation of new Perl versions

It might make your life a lot easier if you create a Bundle of the CPAN modules that you have installed. This would not only help during an upgrade but you could use the same bundle on different machines to make sure that they are in sync.

Thank you. Simply using autobundle before updating perl will save much worry and pain even though it still doesn't solve the downtime for an update.	[reply]

Where is the downtime coming from? Can't you install a new version of Perl, get all the modules installed and everything tested, then change `/usr/bin/perl` to point to the new version?	[reply]
