I started installing nightlies in their own folder (without over-writing previous installs) before the official release of 6.0, because I read a reply from KDF stating that you could have multiple versions installed at once and could choose which to run. Seemed like a good idea so I could experiment with beta releases but fall back on a previous stable version if I ran into trouble. This worked just fine until my recent trouble with Perl. I never even saw the message about missing modules, everything jsut worked. I'll try wiping everything out and starting fresh to see where that gets me. I've been thinking this might be a good idea but I was saving it as a last resort. By the way, I've been meaning to ask: What's the difference between the various install files? What's "no-cpan-arch" and why are some files only about 8 MB and some are 14MB? I'll let you know how it goes.
