RE: [cobalt-users] Perl 5.6 - new question!

["Adam Knowles" <adam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The answer was to move /usr/local to /home/moved_local, then do a 
ln -s /home/moved_local /usr/local

This is due to Perl installing itself (and its modules) by default in
/usr/local/lib/, which is on filesystem 1 which is small.

I have now got 5.6.1 working fine, all seems well. I made a bundle
(autobundle) from 5.005 and installed that into 5.6.1. This has worked
all apart from GD which can't 'make' properly. Any ideas why?

And also I now need to get the custom Cobalt (Cobalt::*) modules into
the mix. What is the best way to do this, since they aren't on CPAN?

Any help much appreciated.

Hi,

I have a raq4i and was trying to install IO::Socket via CPAN when it
said that comes with 5.6.  Me woz running on 5.005.etc.

Decided to upgrade to 5.6, downloaded stable.tar.gz and now going thru
the install.  Installing it as the root user. A few mins ago I got this
in my inbox:

Filesytem '/' is getting very close to full.  This is very dangerous for
the server
and can cause unexpected errors to occur.  You either need to move some
files to another storage device and delete them from the Cobalt server
or delete them altogether.  Consult the documentation for help adding
storage to your Cobalt server.

Total disk space:  726.04 MB
Free disk space:  33.23 MB
Percent Used:  95 %

Looks like Perl is using / to install itself, since a more recent df
says:

[root /root]# df
Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1               743466    717767     25699  97% /
/dev/hda3               198601     19366    179235  10% /var
/dev/hda4             17671528    410106  17261422   2% /home

Should I be worried?  Have I done something wrong?

Any help much appreciated.

Adam
