Thanks Brian

I did check and it looks right. I just ./cpan file and no change. I
then downloaded perl 5.10.1 and compiled it by hand. It had a problem
with the ODBM module which I did a work around (actually I just pulled it
from the make file). Then cpan worked great. But now there is another
problem. YaST is dependent on perl 5.10.0 and yast doesn't work
correctly.

The SuSE version (5.10.0) has these paths

/usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/i586-linux-thread-multi
/usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/i586-linux-thread-multi
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/i586-linux-thread-multi
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl



And there is a who bunch of stuff in the vendor section for Yast

and then the new version has these paths

/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.10.1/i686-linux-thread-multi-ld
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.10.1
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1/i686-linux-thread-multi-ld
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1



This problem with cpan has now snowballed into a system wide
issue...which sux.

Any thoughts on a fix. Can I just cp the vender directory to the
site_perl/5.10.1 or will that cause more chaos
