I hate to beat a dead horse here, but I'm getting some errors from CPAN.pm after installing 5.8. I can't redo `make install` because I used a package and didn't compile myself. What module is this error coming from?
It's coming from all the modules linked into Perl 5.6 - so the core modules. 5.8 and 5.6 aren't compatible - check the archives of this list for the same kinds of errors for more info - you will probably have to download the source files from CPAN and install manually :
once you decomped the archive:
gzip -dc yourmodule.tar.gz | tar -xof -
add this option to Makefile.pl => 'UNINST=1'
which tells perl to clean out old modules if you install another module with the same name, then run a normal install:
cd /path to/distro perl Makefile.PL make make test
good luck
