How difficult is to upgrade to a new Perl? Do all the various CPAN modules and other manually installed modules have to be re-installed into the new Perl tree, or is there an update option on the install that will handle this? It seems that RPM's (from Redhat's up2date for example) interact poorly sometimes with CPAN installs. Why is that? What's the cure?
