I guess this question is more for the cobalt/sun people. Do you guys
plan to put out .pkg files for new PERL versions as they come out? Or
are we tied into the old versions forever?

Recently someone installed perl 5.6.1 on our Raq4, as already pointed
out in
this list the admin no longer works. After a day spent trying to solve
the
problem I found a solution, it is not easy and not fast but it works.
install perl 5.6.1 in /usr/bin overwriting the old one (don´t forget
DB_File
libdb2.x).
Just do a
>>rpm -q --whatrequires perl
that is the result on my raq4:
autoconf-2.13-5
automake-1.4-6
cvs-1.10.8-C1
libnet-1.0606-1
libwww-perl-5.43-1
postgresql-perl-7.0.2-2C1
Data-Dumper-2.101-1
Digest-MD5-2.07-1
HTML-Parser-2.23-1
LWPng-alpha-0.24-1
MIME-Base64-2.11-1
WebFS-FileCopy-1.00-1
URI-1.02-1
perl-MD5-1.7-6
Authen-PAM.pm-0.04-1
perl-Devel-Symdump-2.00-2
perl-quota-1.2.3-1C1
perl-XML-Parser-2.26-2
gettext-pm-1.01-1
postgresql-perl-7.0.2-2

at this point simply download all the SRPM for those pagages and do for
each
a
>>rpm --rebuild XXXXXX.src.rpm
>>rpm -i --force /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/XXXXXX.rpm

if you just need the admin you need only the following pakages


perl-quota-1.2.3-1C1
perl-XML-Parser-2.26-2
gettext-pm-1.01-1
postgresql-perl-7.0.2-2 (you need to recompile the whole postgres stuff,
and
install only this rpm)

I absolutely don´t recommend this procedure, but if you get in trouble
like
me, it is faster than a full restore, and gives you perl 5.6.1...

Trust me it works! I have 5.6 running on my machine alongside the
original
perl.  When you compile it, just use --prefix=/usr/local because the
original is installed in /usr.  hope this helps

I tried it and it DOES break all the web-admin gui stuff.  They also
said
it voids the warranty.

         dZ.

At around 6/24/2001, You said something like:

warranty
