Observe the following typescript from a Gentoo Linux system. The module encode is currently at version 2.12, and I would like to upgrade it to the current CPAN version, which is 2.35. But when I try to do that, CPAN cannot find the module. This happens on a number of others as well, all of them unqualified so far (no '::' in the names). What gives? cpan[2]> m Encode Module id = Encode DESCRIPTION Character Encodings Handler CPAN_USERID DANKOGAI (Dan Kogai <dankogai@xxxxxxxxx>) CPAN_VERSION 2.35 CPAN_FILE D/DA/DANKOGAI/Encode-2.35.tar.gzDSLIP_STATUS Smhhp (standard,mailing-list,hybrid,hybrid,Standard- Perl)MANPAGE Encode - character encodings INST_FILE /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i686-linux-thread-multi/Encode.pm INST_VERSION 2.12 cpan[3]> u Encode No modules found for Encode cpan[4]> q
First, this is wayyyyy off-topic.Second, m Encode shows that it's a standard module. INST_FILE shows it's not in the site_perl directory. Both of these mean it's distributed with Perl, and is not available on CPAN. The only way to get a new version of Encode is to upgrade Perl.
