Upgrading to Perl 5.10

When upgrading to Perl 5.10, is it necessary to recompile all the
modules and Bricolage, or just the perl binary?

You'll need to recompile any perl modules that use XS (e.g. TT if you
use it as a burner) but I don't have a list of those I'm afraid.

You'll need to re-install all Perl modules that include C/XS code.
Bricolage itself should be fine.

Best,

RE: Upgrading to Perl 5.10 [In reply to]

I had so many problems with DBD::mysql (we use for some template code)
on Centos 5 upgrade from perl 5.8.8 to 5.10 (tried perl-DBD-mysql rpm
and source install too) ... no matter what kind of ENV or @INC tweaking,
ldconfig'ing, symlinking, or use libs tweaks I made I just couldn't get
to work ... that I eventually blew out all perl modules installed and
removed perl 5.10 entirely and started again from scratch with 5.8.8
install and reinstall of all modules

if i were you i would try the upgrade for your distro with a separate
system first, with bric already installed and talking to 5.8.8, and I
would expect some versioning/environment problems to overcome.


Thanks,
