From: "Ben Weaver" <bweaver@tranquility.net> > Are you sure the Modules you want to install need 5.6? > I've installed many perl modules (including some which exist > in the ports collection) straight from the tarballs I download from > cpan.perl.com. They seem to work fine. Most don't, certainly. The gotcha appears to be a module called AutoLoader that is out of date - this is part of the 5.6 tarball, hence the fact that CPAN downloaded 5.6. One module I need (part of Bundle::XML) appears to require 5.005, but I think that's already part of 4.2; I just need to 'make world' to get it. As much as anything else, I was intrigued by the level to which Perl 5.003 was intertwined with the system. I guess I was expecting it to be simpler to install different versions of languages as they came out.
