Someone on the Portland Linux Users group (the PLUG closer to where I live) recently told the list this: <quote> I built a local copy of perl in /usr/local/perl-<vers>/, use CPAN.pm to manage modules, and adjust the #! line accordingly in those complex applications. The system perl stays pristine, and the local perl is easy to manage (no rpm building necessary). In some ways it's a headache, but it makes RT management soooo much simpler. </quote> Cool idea if you ask me, that's how we manage a lot of our application here at HP so if we ever go back to an old project we still have the versions of the tools that were used on the project available still. Bryan P.S. I don't know what RT is.... ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
