What's Debian's procedure for installing and maintaining perl? At the beginning, dselect insisted that packages for perl-5.004 and perl-5.005 be installed. Is it necessary
Other lib*-perl packages were installed and recently perl 5.6.1 was compiled, successfully, after most defaults were accepted. The result is three sets of files. What configuration do I change in what files to eliminate the duplicate files? Can I (and how do I ) "hold" some packages while I clean up? If more debian perl packages are installed, will perl 5.6.1 find them? Should I add paths to a variable in ~/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm? ------------------------- Perl* currently in $PATH: perl perl-5.004 perl-5.005 perl5.004 perl5.00405 perl5.005 perl5.00503 perl5.6.1 perlbug-5.004 perlbug-5.005 perlcc perlcc-5.005 perldoc perldoc-5.004 perldoc-5.005 "dpkg -l lib*-perl" shows 22 packages installed LocalWords: perlcc perlcc perldoc perldoc
