in reply to Wow! Painful upgrade to Perl 5.12

If you're using activestate and ppm, in theory, ppm upgrade --install will upgrade all your PPMs after you've upgraded your installation.

And (again, in theory), if you used the cpan shell for some or all of your installed packages, cpan> upgrade will deal with them.

I tried it once and it didn't get everything. But I also tend to install some modules with the four-part matra, so perhaps it was my fault.

    BrowserUk, that's wonderful! Thanks. I'll go investigate and give it a whirl. I would be delighted if it even works for 'most' of my modules. I didn't know about that option on ppm.

    I have also used the CPAN shell on occasion (but I don't use it very often so I always have to re-learn it which is sort of a pain) so I'll keep the cpan> upgrade in mind, too.

    Again, thanks.
