Title: Perl 5.12 upgrade procedure
Author: perl-team <perl@gentoo.org>
Author: Torsten Veller <tove@gentoo.org>
Content-Type: text/plain
Posted: 2010-10-22
Revision: 1
News-Item-Format: 1.0
Display-If-Installed: <dev-lang/perl-5.12
==> Run `perl-cleaner --all` after upgrading to a new Perl version! <==
"Perl 5.12 is not binary compatible with prior releases of Perl. If
you have built extensions (i.e. modules that include C code) using an
earlier version of Perl, you will need to rebuild and reinstall those
extensions." [1]
In fact, in Gentoo you currently have to rebuild all Perl modules and
all binaries linking libperl to get into a consistent state again.
perl-cleaner generates a list of broken packages and passes it to your
package manager to reinstall them. After reinstalling the packages,
perl-cleaner outputs a list of files the script could not deal with
(like modules installed not via the package manager).
See `man perl-cleaner` for its options.
