Re: cpan upgrade failing. Could use some help

I don't know what 'upgrade' is supposed to do and, after seeing all that garbage that it threw at you, it's very unlikely that I'll ever try testing it for myself.

The most recent version "1.12" of the module "warnings" is part of the perl-5.15.4 distribution.

That's just bullshit - perl-5.16.0 ships with version 1.13 of warnings. And the implication that you should install 5.15.4 is plain ludicrous.

What are you trying to achieve ? Maybe there's a better way

Cheers,
Rob

the modlist, etc, don't update itself Then the message that is being emitted should make it clear that it might not be up to date. Software that deliberately suggests to a user that an outdated devel version of perl be installed is something that I would classify as "malware". (Naturally, I do not believe this suggestion to be "deliberate".) Cheers, Rob	[reply]
