SPUG: when is 5.10 not > 5.8?

[Mike Schuh]

Hi all,

I'm trying to install some modules from CPAN, having just upgraded from
Perl 5.8.8 to 5.10.0  Most of what I want to install has worked OK.

In a few places, however, I get complaints about versions:

 - ERROR: perl (5.10.0) is installed, but we need version >= 5.8

and

 requires perl '5.8'; you have only 5.010000; giving up


Any suggestions?

perl -v returns

This is perl, v5.10.0 built for i686-linux

I suppose I could try setting up some links to fool the CPAN module, but
I'm afraid that would just make things worse.

Running Fedora Core 6 (2.6.22.14-72.fc6).

Thanks.
