apt-get vs perl -MCPAN -e shell

[will trillich <will@serensoft.com>]

i ran into a versioning speedbump when setting up an apache
server (on potato) with HTML::Mason -- the latter was from

	apt-get install libhtml-mason-perl

and was only version 0.72; i then tried

	perl -MCPAN -e shell

and -- silly me -- i did the "install Bundle::CPAN" as suggested
to get the new update, and now i've got perl 5.8!

what's the recommended fix to ensure perl consistency? (i'd bet
that retrograding back to 5.003_05 would be the best bet -- or
is it?)

:
Wondering HOW TO SET YOUR SYSTEM CLOCK?  There's a true
hardware clock on your computer's motherboard; at startup, it
sets your system's software clock.  To set your hardware clock
use "hwclock" (apt-get install util-linux). Try the --localtime
and --systohc options.  (Or even take a look at --help.)
