Mac Forum / Programming / Perl / December 2005

I'm running Tiger with my own perl-5.8.6 installed in /usr/local/
perl-5.8.6 and symlink at /usr/bin/perl pointing to /usr/local/
perl-5.8.6/bin/perl
with a TON of CPAN modules. It was also used to build an apache/
mod_perl setup.

For a number of reasons I'm upgrading a bunch of things and would  
like to upgrade to perl-5.8.7 WITHOUT having to re-install all of the  
CPAN modules. What is the "best" way to do this? I think what I want  
is to have the following directories ...

    /usr/local/perl-5.8.6/lib/site_perl/5.8.6/darwin-2level
    /usr/local/perl-5.8.6/lib/site_perl/5.8.6
    /usr/local/perl-5.8.6/lib/site_perl

... automagically appended to @INC. Is there a Configure option to do  
that or something? Or is there a better way.
