Re^3: Version Conflict and XSLoader

When I installed a Perl5.8 under C:\Perl5.8, I had modules under the c:\Perl\lib which was a previous version. I copied module folders such as Config\Hash from c:\Perl\lib to c:\Perl5.8\lib. Could that be the issue? Do I need to download newer modules of everything?

If going from one 5.6 version to another, or from one 5.8 version to another, you can copy modules. However, you half-copied a module, copying it's XS component without copying its .pm component or vice-versa. You should have restricted yourself to non-core modules (`site/`), for starters. If you don't mind some of your modules getting upgraded, you would probably have been better off copying `c:\perl` to `c:\perl5.8` then install over `c:\perl5.8`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Yes. and, yes. You can't simply copy modules (other than those which are pure perl) from one place to another and expect them to work.	[reply]
