Perl upgrade from cpan shell
October 10, 2010 8 Comments
In this article I am going to show you how you can upgrade perl in your system.So here we go; first of all determine the current perl version installed like this:
bhaskar@bhaskar-laptop_12:14:32_Sat Oct 09:~> sudo /usr/bin/perl -v
This is perl, v5.10.0 built for i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi

Complete documentation for Perl, including FAQ lists, should be found on
this system using "man perl" or "perldoc perl". If you have access to the
Internet, point your browser at http://www.perl.org/, the Perl Home Page.
If you are really interested to know about why cpan is better then other methods then please look here.And if you want to install perl modules as non-root user then please glean over here . Now let me get into the cpan shell like below;
bhaskar@bhaskar-laptop_12:16:56_Sat Oct 09:~> sudo cpan
Terminal does not support AddHistory.
cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.9205)
ReadLine support available (maybe install Bundle::CPAN or Bundle::CPANxxl?)
cpan[1]>
Ok lets update the perl thing from this shell like it:
cpan[1]> upgrade
CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.18)
CPAN: LWP::UserAgent loaded ok (v5.813)
CPAN: Time::HiRes loaded ok (v1.9711)
I would like to connect to one of the following sites to get 'authors/01mailrc.txt.gz':
http://www.perl.org/CPAN/
ftp://ftp.perl.org/pub/CPAN/
Is it OK to try to connect to the Internet? [yes]

...............
New CPAN.pm version (v1.9402) available.
[Currently running version is v1.9205]
You might want to try
install CPAN
reload cpan
to both upgrade CPAN.pm and run the new version without leaving
the current session.

CPAN.pm: Going to build B/BI/BINGOS/Archive-Tar-1.68.tar.gz
You do not have IO::Compress::Bzip2 installed. This means you can not read or write bzip2 compressed archives!
Note: you can disable this warning (and the prerequisite) by invoking Makefile.PL with '-n'
Archive::Tar comes with a utility called 'ptardiff' which lets you run diffs against tar archives.
However, this utility requires you to have Text::Diff installed.
To add Text::Diff as a prerequisite, please supply the '-d' option when invoking this Makefile.PL.
Checking if your kit is complete...

….. like this it goes on and fetching different modules and installed them into the system.Ook once it finished you will get the new version of perl installed in your system.Lets check it:

I think upgrading perl like this headache free and better way,as it’s give you so much insight into it.And you can visibly see where are the componenets are going.
Hope this will help.

It’s also worth noting that this WILL break your system.
Most distros rely on certain versions and packages from CPAN.
Thanks for pointing out that Nux. But I consider myself lucky in that matter I tried it on two different distro and it just work.That were tested on Arch Linux and Debian Lenny.
But still I am curious to know how it breaks and why it breaks for you Nux?Would you mind to shed light on that? So it would be beneficial for everyone reading this post and take care.Please be specific to your problem you encounter and the solution you opted for.

Theres no update CPAN option. Using RHEL 5.6
James,
I believe I have done an upgrade not an update! And you have to use it from within the cpan shell ;like I showed in the post.
And I had have tested it on Arch Linux and Debian Lenny ; as I mentioned in the post too.So not sure about RHEL 5.6
But you should fire cpan from the command line and once you answer some questions it will create the shell for you.Then you might try the steps I shown above.

got this message:
“cpan> upgrade
Unknown command ‘upgrade’. Type ? for help.”
using rehl 5.0
Something awkward..check your perl version and installation ..and as well cpan config file.
I have a perl version 5.10 on CentOS 6 so which version should be the most suited to upgrade and what steps should be followed for the upgrade because I’m worried about the file conflicts and the version changes in syntax and other libraries.
