Re: Problems upgrading perl 5.8.8 to 5.10.0 on Ubuntu Desktop 7.10

PERLLIB did not have any value and PERL5LIB came back with 5.8.8 values (no 5.10.0).

And yes, running CPAN without sudo gave the same result.

I did not specify another prefix for Perl 5.10.x modules as the installation instructions said the defaults were usually okay.

Plus when I did (in an earlier attempt) install perl 5.10.0 in a different directory:

% sh Configure -Dprefix='/opt/perl5.10'
[download]

I had pretty much the same issue.

I will have to get back to this in the evening when I finish from work. Thanks for now though.

PERLLIB did not have any value and PERL5LIB came back with 5.8.8 values (no 5.10.0). There's your answer, you need to set it to 5.10.0 or just unset it. You can do that in the /etc/profile or in your .profile (name varies depending on the shell you use).	[reply]
