    Hi Managers,

    SYS: Dec 3000, TRU64 V 4.0F.

    I would like to update the version of perl on the above system.
    Currently it is running version 5.0 of perl and I am finding it hard to
    install other modules. The system currently uses perl for a number of
    small but important tasks so I do not want to trash the current
    version and fail to make the up-grade.

    I am considering 2 ways to do this. Tar up the old /usr/lib/perl5 dir
    and use the CPAN tarball to re-create perl from scratch. The other
    method I am considering is to use the open-source CD from a TRU64
    5.0 distribution and install from this. I like this 2nd method as I think
    it would "fit" better into my O/S.

    Has any one done something similar before? I would appreciate any
    advice before I launch myself at this.

    Thanx.
    Dp.
