in reply to Rebuilding Scalar::Util after Fedora Update
It's definitely problematic to mix Perl modules from your OS vendor with ones from CPAN. If you want to prevent yum from doing this to you again, you can add something like "exclude perl" to your yum.conf. Of course you can still run into bad situations where something else lists a Perl upgrade as a dependency, but at least it won't surprise you. |

Or install a separate "application" Perl in a different directory and then it doesn't matter what the OS and package manager install.
(And is it just me or is this recommendation not regularly coming up repeatedly every n weeks . . . ? I mean not two weeks ago I said practically the same thing. Probably means the tutorial draft that was in response to is needed :)
