Couldn't help but laugh, thats exactly what happened to me the first time I tried CPAN and was new to perl. CPAN and Perl are evil! Just kidding, I've really grown to enjoy perl. I'd find out what files are installed via your normal distro: rpm -qa | grep perl | more rpm -ql perl-xx | more Then maybe try uninstall/reinstall the rpm you want. Or maybe theres a rpm -fixit command or something. Look for some kind of rpm -verify perl-xx command? Delete all the perl files by hand, then try and reinstall the rpm? Can you tell I really don't know what the hell I'm doing? Thats alright, its never stopped me before :) A lot of the files won't collide, they are organized by version: /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/.. But the ones in /usr/bin/ could be problematic, not sure if the CPAN upgrade would write over those. Hopefully rpm could verify or fix those for you. Then there are /usr/share/man, but hey, they are man pages, probably haven't changed for 10 years :) _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
