A lot of system software uses perl (and python and gcc) so replacing the installed version without testing the effect it might have on the system is not advisable. i.e. things will break.

It?s only 4 years old. CentOS 5 just left supported status, which shipped Perl 5.8.8 from first release to last, which means I?ll probably still be limited to Perl 5.8 features for

That must be someone?s backport. As someone who migrated a mod_perl based app off of mod_perl several years ago, I recommend that you do not use it, unless you have old

As a side note, here is why RHEL (and therefore CentOS, since we rebuild RHEL source code to create our base OS) has old software: https://access.redhat.com/security/updates/backporting

Hi all, Hope you people do not feel irritated for repeatedly sending mail on Time series. Here I got another problem on the same, and hope I would get some answer from you.
