Re^2: cpan upgrade failing. Could use some help

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.

Not that much, its merely stale data -- the modlist, etc, don't update itself

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 Software that deliberately suggests to a user that an outdated devel version of perl be installed is something that I would classify as "malware".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]
