perl upgrade problems

Hi Regland,

I believe this is what is happening -

1. You installed Taroon and got Perl auto-installed during the installation.
2. You found out that this Perl version is not appropriate for your
application.
3. you downloaded Perl-5.8.3 from cpan.
4. You are having trouble installing this version.

If I am right so far, I think this is what you can do -

A. Install Perl-5.8.3 in /opt. Instructions are in the same INSTALL file.
B. Use the default Perl that Red Hat has supplied for normal jobs.
C. Use the Perl in /opt for your application.
D. REMEMBER: If you insist on using the CPAN module to install new
modules into *both* installations, please keep the .cpan dirs separate.

This is because Red Hat invests time in providing a version of Perl that
we can support over the lifetime of the RHEL product that you have
bought. If your versions are not what Red Hat has supplied/updated, then
you may run into support issues with Red Hat. So, keep the Perl version
supplied by Red Hat, and update it *only* through RHN. And run your
application through the Perl that you have compiled in /opt.

Hope this helps.
