I know that a lot of people recommend simply doing a clean install instead of an upgrade when moving from one SuSE release to a new one, but I really prefer not to loose all of the tweaking and settings to the various config files in /etc so I've always used the upgrade route. The move from 9.2 to 9.3 was a little bumpy for me (see earlier thread), but the biggest pita I'm finding (now that the bumps are smoothed over thanks to help from this list) is the Perl upgrade. None of the modules I previously installed via CPAN get installed when a newer Perl is installed. That means that all sorts of things break and stop working and I find myself chasing around installing various modules as I find the problems. There has to be a better way. Does anyone know of a straightforward method to identify the modules I installed to Perl 5.8.5 and then to automatically get them installed for the newer 5.8.6 that 9.3 uses? I'm thinking like maybe some kind of script that could be run. Scott -- POPFile, the OpenSource EMail Classifier http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ Linux 2.6.11.4-20a-default x86_64
