Re: CPAN & Perl



You may have already found this out, but as of CPAN v 1.59, it won't upgrade
perl unless you force it to.

So run 'perl -MCPAN -e shell', then do 'install CPAN' first (before doing
install Bundle::CPAN).

There is no silver bullet.  Plus, werewolves make better neighbors than
zombies, and they tend to keep the vampire population down.
