https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1138817 Bug ID: 1138817 Summary: Perl core modules are installed into vendor_perl, so they are not updated by cpan Product: Fedora Version: 20 Component: perl Assignee: jplesnik@xxxxxxxxxx Reporter: grinnz@xxxxxxxxx QA Contact: extras-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: cweyl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, iarnell@xxxxxxxxx, jplesnik@xxxxxxxxxx, kasal@xxxxxx, perl-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, ppisar@xxxxxxxxxx, psabata@xxxxxxxxxx, rc040203@xxxxxxxxxx, tcallawa@xxxxxxxxxx Description of problem: As perl core modules are broken into separate packages, these packages install the modules into vendor_perl. By default the vendor_perl directory precedes the core module directory in @INC. CPAN by default will install updates to core modules in the core directory, not site_perl. Therefore in a default configuration, updating a core module with cpan or cpanm appears to work, but the RPM version in vendor_perl continues to be used instead. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Depends on RPMs that are out of date with CPAN (this will always happen for some time at least) Currently, perl-Test-Simple-1.001002 is older than the CPAN version of Test-Simple-1.001003 required to install an updated version of POE. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install perl and perl-core from yum 2. Run "cpan Test::Simple" or "cpanm Test::Simple" Actual results: New version of Test-Simple distribution is installed but old version from RPM continues to be used, so cpan cannot install modules requiring new version Expected results: New version of Test-Simple distribution is used Additional info: Can be avoided by using local::lib or modifying @INC. Maybe there is a better solution. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
