In two sentences: Pro: 5.10 has some new features: http://search.cpan.org/~rgarcia/perl-5.10.0/pod/perl5100delta.pod Con: 5.10 has less pre-compiled PPM modules. 99% that you don't have to change anything in your scripts, but nobody would guarantee it. Just check: installing ActivePerl takes only minutes, you can always rollback if something goes wrong. > 2) For either choice, what is the best way to list the modules I have on my > old machine and to get the latest versions of them on the new machine? ppm profile save filename copy "filename" to new machine, and then ppm profile restore filename -- Serguei Trouchelle _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
