The actual problems I do hear of mainly come from broken Perl packages shipped by some other distributions (not Suse :) Sure, on a production server, it's good practice to be very sure of versions, but in that environment the installation mechanism will follow whatever house policy is used for configuration management. Perl has an installation layout, which Suse and other distros follow, that is designed to prevent conflicts between modules installed from CPAN and modules installed via the distros' own mechanisms. YaST updates do not affect modules installed from CPAN and vice versa. Applications installed via YaST that use Perl modules can and should be configured in their packages such that they will not see Perl modules installed from CPAN if that would cause them a problem. Also, Perl programs run a large fraction of the web's infrastructure. The maintainers of important Perl modules take great care not to break backwards compatibility in the same way as for the C libraries etc. Cheers, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
