Thanks for the reply Yitze.
I simply wondered whether there was any benefit. I haven't yet tried
the perl -MCPAN approach but have spent most of the day in cpan. I
would expect to see perl -MCPAN in an anutomated approach somewhere I
guess.
I have successfully updated some modules locally
Hi
I'm using Linux for some perl play.
Which method is considered better - using cpan as a command at the
command line or using 'perl -MCPAN -e ..'' ?
Does using CPAN by either method above ensure the latest version of
any given module or does it give the latest module for the particular
I'm just guessing here, but I'm going to suggest that both methods
ultimately call the same code and are therefore equivalent. Though the
cpan command takes arguments, so it might speed stuff up.

The cpan script was added in Perl 5.8.1. It is a command line
interface to the CPAN module, so it is not
Hi,
I used to use
perl -MCPAN -e install 'Some::Module'
to install modules. Now I discovered the cpan tool (by chance) which allows me
to do:
cpan Some::Module
The manual page (date: 2003-09-12) is pretty self-explaining - but the script
was never mentioned on this list.
Is there any

None at all.
I only steer people towards the `perl -MCPAN -e ...` version because
that is very likely to work on any recentish copy of Perl. On the other
hand, not all vendors seem to distrubute the `cpan` wrapper
Hi;
I see several very interesting CPAN modules regarding Rational/IBM
ClearCase. These are just *.pm files. How/where do I install these? I
have root privs. I want the modules to be available in the standard
place(s). I guess I should just look at the %INC hash and place it in a

I can't seem to use a Perl CPAN XML module in conjunction with
ClearCase, as I did not see the ClearCase Perl modules on CPAN until
today, and the ClearCase commands I was calling where in a setview exec

This might be a dumb question, but it's probably a beginner's one.
How can I use CPAN to upgrade perl itself? I think this is possible,
because it's happened to me inadvertently when I was trying to upgrade a
module. I've tried 'install perl' and 'install perl5.8.0' but neither
works
