Re^2: Perl upgrade

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.

When installing Perl with `perlbrew`, make sure you read the documentation on how to switch between the system Perl and the brewed one. Once you execute the command to switch to the installed, new Perl, the `cpan` command should install things in that tree. Especially `cpanm`, which I don’t think you have installed for the system Perl anyway.	[reply]
