Whats an easy way to update (v5.8.7) (v5.8.8) I wonder

[quote] The version of perl you are running (v5.8.7) is too old. There are known problems that cannot be worked around with this version of perl. It is HIGHLY recommended that you upgrade to v5.8.8 or later. Any module install failures should be ignored until perl has been upgraded as some modules will not be able to install with this version of perl. You can ensure that each installed module gets carried over to the updated Perl build with the use of the "autobundle" CPAN feature. You can create a bundle of the currently installed modules by executing the following while logged in via SSH as root: perl -MCPAN -e 'autobundle' Once completed, you should see the following output before getting returned to the shell: 'Wrote bundle file /home/.cpan/Bundle/Snapshot_2007_08_16_00.pm' Once you've made note of this file name, you can proceed with the update. On linux based systems, you should be able to update Perl using the installer provided at layer1.cpanel.net: cd /root wget http://layer1.cpanel.net/perl588installer.tar.gz tar -zxf perl588installer.tar.gz cd perl588installer ./install [quote] Is the email I received, but I have seem to misplaced my root login details. I was hoping the website http://www.luv2help.com would provide me with the answers but it was down for the past few days. Maybe they are having the same problem as me...
