Wait, wait, wait. Did you say "sticking with a tried-and-true potato" and "features updates" in the same sentence? Uh, excuse me? Shock, horror, amazement! Stunned silence. Living on CPAN is almost equivalent to living on unstable. If you feel CPAN unstable is good, why not Debian unstable? To my way of thinking that is an inconsistent viewpoint. > perl -MCPAN -e shell > > install Bundle::HTML::Mason > [...] > is there a quickie-like fix without having to do a full to-woody > upgrade? :( i'd like to have a semi-modern HTML::Mason and > apache-perl, without having to overhaul the whole schlabotnik... Okay, I am getting over my stunned shock and amazement and what I think I see that only for perl you want the latest and greatest always but you don't want an update for anything else, not even to go from potato to woody? Me? I would probably 'apt-get source libhtml-mason-perl' and then 'debuild -uc -us' and create my own deb packages of the modules I needed with the current perl instead of using the CPAN install. That way the package manager will know about everything that is installed and can still manage dependencies properly. Bob
