[SLUG] Perl situation

[Simon Bryan <sbryan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all.
When I setup a RH7 server recently it installed perl 5.6.0.9, I needed to 
upgrade it so I installed from the source perl 5.6.1.(Needed suidperl)

I am having some inconsistencies that might be a result of both versions 
being installed, or parts thereof.

rpm -q perl says 5.6.0.9 and perl -v says 5.6.1.

If I uninstall the perl rpm it warns of breaking dependencies. Most of 
which I don't know what they are doing. If I do this with -nodeps and then 
re-install from the source would those dependencies be fixed or am I going 
to have to recompile all of them as well?

This is on an important server, running our Intranet so I don't want to 
break anymore than I have to!

Cheers,




Simon Bryan
