in thread Upgrading Core Modules Using CPAN - Best Practice?

You really needn't worry, all CORE modules available as separate downloads on CPAN already know how to get installed in lib instead of site/lib :)

That is what I thought too, but then why did I end up with two versions of some modules installed when upgrading from CPAN?

/usr/local/perl5.8.6/lib/5.8.6/sun4-solaris/Errno.pm (core: 1.09_00) /usr/local/perl5.8.6/lib/site_perl/5.8.6/Errno.pm (cpan: 1.10)

    Congratulations, you've found a bug, report it to whomever put Errno on cpan :)
