Re^2: CPAN: Getopt::Std

5.8.8 is what's being pushed by RHEL 5.

Here's the 'lecture' I got:

*** WHOA THERE!!! ***

This is an UNSTABLE DEVELOPMENT release.

The version of this perl5 distribution is 15, that is, odd,

(as opposed to even) and that signifies a development release.

If you want a maintenance release, you want an even-numbered version.

Do ***NOT*** install this into production use.

Data corruption and crashes are possible.

It is most seriously suggested that you do not continue any further

unless you want to help in developing and debugging Perl.

If you *still* want to build perl, you can answer 'y' now,

or pass -Dusedevel to Configure.

Do you really want to continue? n n Okay, bye.

What you are seeing is the standard warning when you try to install a nondual-lived core module.	[reply]

You already have it: `>corelist Getopt::Std Getopt::Std was first released with perl 5` [download] If you don't have it installed, complain to your OS vendor that they supply you with an incomplete installation of Perl. Maybe they provide the additional Perl Core modules in a separate package?	[reply] [d/l]
