Bundle perl 5.16, run your unit tests, and fix any fallout. If your test coverage is good enough, that should catch most of the changes.

Yes, the full path to this pwd program

Do not add @INC to your $PATH

You should leave the system’s 5.6 alone as probably too many other things depend on it. Use perlbrew to install a separate Perl with whatever modules you wish (using cpanm installed by perlbrew), and then work on your software to make it compatible with the more modern Perl release of your choice.

I definitely “second the motion” that you should not disturb the operating system’s installed version of Perl since many system management tools could depend on it.

If you are indeed using a system with a Perl that old (e.g. CentOS 5) you probably should seriously consider upgrading it.

Hi Monks..

Please forgive me for my unawareness as I am novice.Actually in my application bundled Perl , Path( lib, site , bin etc) are in different directory... What I did right now I installed Perl on my machine and copied it into my application correct directory ( as lib in <app>/perl5/lib )...

But I am having problem in installing module...can't run cpan from this extracted perl

Please any advise..

You mention Windows and you also mention bundled Perl — so what exactly is this? An application made with ActivePerl for example?

I think we definitely need more detail to be able to help you properly.

Hi..

It is like this my application is perl based so we bundled perl interpreter inside to run application.

it is like
Bin path : <app-home>/Windows/perl5/bin/per5
Lib path : <app-home>/Windows/perl5/lib/per5/lib
Site path: <app-home>/Windows/perl5/lib/per5/site
Problem is what i did I copied all files from my machine perl to these locations..
But I need to install several modules into "site Path" ..what I did I removed all path related to machine perl and point it to application perl.. when I do cpan from <app-home>Windows/perl5/bin..it failed saying


Having "<app-home>Windows/perl5/lib"<br/>
looking c:/Perl/lib<br/>

What is the best way to install modules into these custom locations?

See Re: CPAN won't install into personal directory; probably an o conf problem
