in reply to Upgrading Strawberry Perl While Preserving Non-Core Modules

5.24 and 5.32 aren't going to be binary compatible so you're going to need to let everything XS reinstall in the new perl anyhow.

That being said the autobundle file (which seems to be coming up a lot today) is just a specially formatted module file naming the modules to be installed. If you installed your new 5.34 under (say) C:\strawberry534 you should be able to copy the 5.24 bundile file into cpan\Bundle in the new location and the 5.34 cpan should (theoretically) find it there and install into the new directory.

(Disclaimer: not a windows person and just guessing about multiple installs with different prefixes. Hands waving wildly. Contents may have settled during shipping.)
