Re^2: removing perl modules

Oh. I'm installing webgui, and they have a testEnvironment.pl script that goes through and makes sure that I have all the perl mods installed that I need. I've worked my way thru (I thought), and ran in to some problems where it's just seems like a big huge mess. It says I need to insall Apache::Request, but when it does CPAN says I have it (and I believe I do), then there is the fact that I have two mod_perls installed at different versions and one is 32-bit and the other 64-bit (I'm on a 64-bit system) one via yast, and one via cpan. So then I started removing stuff from Yast, and I'm probably really hosing this all up.

Yeah, you're probably hosting it up. The one trick I've always had to remember is to use the appropriate Perl related to the mod_perl instance I want to run. There's always a Perl binary somewhere associated with the mod_perl installation; run the CPAN shell or the test script with that binary and install the modules for that installation. I don't think removing things will help you that much, unless you are very sure to remove one complete mod_perl installation and its entire related Perl installation.	[reply]
