Re: Calling Ajax

in reply to Calling Ajax

Is it possible for you to install this module on your own account? Then you could just add your account's path to a use lib statement, and your script should compile. However, you may find that once you have CGI::Ajax installed, there may be additional dependencies that are also required.

However, you may find that once you have CGI::Ajax installed, there may be additional dependencies that are also required. Note that all modules that are XS based will have to be recompiled to work against a new version of perl (if I'm not mistaken), so just having them in place will likely not be enough to prevent breakage. OP should have a development environment that mirrors the production system in order to ensure a smooth and non-impactful upgrade. It would also be very wise to run under Perlbrew or an otherwise alternate perl instead of using the system perl.	[reply]
