The following sequence has worked quite well in the past: cpan> install CPAN cpan> reload cpan After this you're effectively running the new version. This is due to Perl's capability of redefining itself while running. I discovered bugs in the way how I implemented this recently but as said, it worked quite well already in very old versions of CPAN.pm. And 1.6 is very old. Release date seems to have been Apr 19, 2002. So please test this method before you recommend it to your users! Hope this helps, -- andreas
