in reply to Upgrading XS module to later version

What incantations do I have to give to make my List/Util.pm connect to the newly downloaded binary XS version?

Download, https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/P/PE/PEVANS/Scalar-List-Utils-1.42.tar.gz, install it , the end

    Yes, but https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/P/PE/PEVANS/Scalar-List-Utils-1.42.tar.gz is exactly what Cpan had already downloaded for me and failed to install (even with manual assistance using the Makefile Directly)

      Yeah and, how is this relevant?

      Your complaint is that you've manually edited stuff and now cpan won't do something you want ... great, do it yourself, cpan is just a helper , if its not helping you, do the job yourself
