Hello all,
I was trying to jump from my 14.2 to 15.0 but I'm facing problems with perl modules I've installed over the yer with CPAN.

Not a big deal, I thought but issuing the cpan command I get :
ListUtil.c: loadable library and perl binaries are mismatched (got handshake key 0xcd00080, needed 0xeb00080)

Does anyone knows how to deal with this ?
Or eventually, are there around repository or similar to get perl modules ?

I've found a nice script to get all (somehow) installed perl modules but can't get cpan started to rebuild them.

Thanks in advance.

Just after writing this message I've tried by renaming /usr/local/lib64/perl5 to /usr/local/lib64/perl5BAD and now cpan starts.
So my problem it's half solved.
The other part is : how do I can rebuild perl modules in a way that a new perl upgrade would simplify the fix of such problems ?


Thanks in advance.

make a note on all perl-based scripts, remove all, rebuild against latest perl in 15.0
that's the risk of mixing between cpan and slackware packages

Serendipidously I was just playing around with CPAN on 15.0. I just told it to upgrade everything before I saw your post so it will be interesting to see what breaks. On 14.2 I never hit any problems using CPAN and SBo packages randomly but when I used to actually work with Perl in a job there were all sorts of issues with different Perl versions, especially with regex where bugs in regex were constantly being fixed and making old scripts do unexpected things because you hadn't paid attention to the fact it wasn't doing what it said but what you wanted.
