New modules can be installed either via YaST, which will result in versions compatible with system applications, or via CPAN which will result in alternate versions (usually newer). The system and alternate versions co-exist quite happily. YaST will continue to use the system versions; your programs can use the newer versions if you wish.
My programs are run by root and other User id's.
Alternate versions of perl itself can be installed but you must *not* try to change the system's perl. Use perlbrew http://perlbrew.pl/ or a homebrew layout similar to the description at
---- I was shocked on a recent upgrade to find my perl mod upgrades being redirected to my home dir (without notice). I couldn't figure out why my scripts worked for me but not for other users and root.... then I noticed the garbage cluttering up my home dir...*cute trick*. I write my scripts to so system administration. What else do you use perl for? If it doesn't run at the system level, they don't run. Cristian Rodríguez's last name no longer comes across as: "Cristian Rodr��������������������������������" BECAUSE I am running perl5.16.1. You are telling me that I should go back to 5.14 for that? (It's been broken since 5.8.1 when they broke unicode support by default). But you are telling users that they can't fix their systems and have to take only things given from suse with appropriate internal interlocking version deps .... That is not an open system. That's a closed system. Is suse being "ClosedSuse"... sure sounds like it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
